Dropped my iphone 4 on a thing section of carpet but had tile underneath, screen has a small hairline fracture running across it just above the home button. I would like to replace it because it looks like I will need a whole new screen one if I drop it again.
As a temporary fix, put a screen protector on. That should help limit the damage. Also when buying a replacement front panel, be sure to buy from a reputable vendor. There are a lot of scams going on around this part throughout the Internet.
Remember: The front panel is always glued to the LCD, Apple has this done with fancy machinery that cannot be done at home. Anyone selling the glass by itself is trying to scam you.
We have been ordering iPhone 4 parts, but we are still working out quality issues with the front panels. Hopefully we can begin to stock them soon.

I agree this seems repair related. +

Before you decide to replace the screen, remember that the glass, digitizer, and LCD are all one piece, so that would be a pretty expensive repair for something that isn't necessary (yet).

This looks pretty repair related to me, albeit with a misleading title.
