WiGoMan Blog - Tech Care (Repair, Reuse, Recycle) Industry Leader

Maybe of you didn't know that we  fix the Apple iPad because for many years we have joked that if it fits in your pocket we can fix it at WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair  (it seemed so simple to us). But times change and we must all adapt. So YES we can fix your Apple iPad and many other tablets in case you need us!   We have been working on the iPad and other tablets since they first hit the market. So we know our stuff! And we have seen it all. From a totaled iPad ("Oops I ran over it") to just a small hairline crack. We use only the highest quality parts when working on your iPad or tablet and many times we can complete the work within one to two hours. Left it in your gym bag ans spilled water on it? Not a problem, we've fixed that too! Tablets are great devices but those big beautiful glass screens can break just like any other glass screen or glass in general, right? I'll never forget breaking a full length mirror in our hotel room on a trip with t

“Aren't all screen protectors the same?” “My phone doesn’t need a screen protector, does it?" I get questions about screen protectors ALL the time -- by the way the correct answers are NO and YES. There are many different levels of quality when it comes to screen protection; from your basic cheap plastic that will yellow and fall off in a few weeks to chemically engineered polymers that can actually increase the strength of your screen. Bottom line: Quality matters! At WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair we offer the BEST premium screen protectors on the market from Wrapsol, a US based company just south of Bean town in Canton, MA. Good old American ingenuity! They make there product in the USA as well. So it's a great way to support American jobs!! My guess is that you want to know what makes Wrapsol screen protectors the best. So lets start with how they are made. In short, it's unique chemistry that produces remarkable properties .

For the past five years I have worked hard to help people get their phones fixed. I've seen it all. I've comforted many lost souls wondering around in a state of shock from the recent damage to their beloved electronics. But I have NEVER been a customer of WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair - that is until today:-( My recently turned five year old daughter was riding a big girl bike for the first time and I wanted  to get it on film. So I got out my handy-dandy 12 mega pixel Nokia N8 and started to film. As I adjust the phone in my hands to zoom-in it slipped from my grasp - in slow motion mind you - and fell to the concrete steps below... my heart sunk as I looked at the front glass. My Cracked Nokia N8 Mind you I have dropped it many times and it had not broken. Oh, and Nokia was kind to install Gorilla-Glass to be sure it was stronger than your average phone (see iPhone). But this apparently was the drop that broke the Gorilla's back. My poor little N8. I guess I

Here at WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair we get asked (everyday) what we can and cannot fix. I like to say if it fits in your pocket we can fix it. That includes the iPod Touch 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Gen! Screen repair for these devices is common and under $100 in each case. Most of the time we can make the repair while you wait or drop it off and pick it up later if you prefer. Oh, and did I mention, you can ship it too  for fast one day turn around. So next time you drop your iPod Touch and the screen breaks, here is what you do: Stay Calm. It's an iPod Touch, not the end of the world. Bring it to one of our local shops OR ship it to us quickly, but don't break any laws. Have it repaired by one of our expert techs with a brand new screen while you wait OR next day delivery -- again stay calm it won't be long now! Retrive your iPod Touch from our shop and sing for joy or jam out with the latest tunes from Adele, LMFAO, Spanky McFarlene or whatever... Thank you

I am so sick of all the so-called cell phone experts of the world -- except for me of course. From the best "tech" blogger to the guy at the local cell phone store. From the "respected" news media to my friends at church -- even my pastor is a cell phone expert, sorry Brother Jim. Everybody thinks they have the one cell phone that fits every person. THEY are wrong! First of all, everyone quit quoting commercials and ad campaigns when you talk about phones. This only proves how dumb you really are. Gather some real world facts - especially if you are in the NEWS MEDIA. I get press releases all the time and then I hear a news anchor quote it and talk about it like it's a fact without saying it's from a press release. Secondly, when it comes to buying a phone it is NOT ALL ABOUT THE APPS! Sorry but I am so tired of hearing this over and over again. The Apps argument should be all about quality over quantity. All of the major O/S's have what most

OK so I took my mother-in-law to get a new phone just after Christmas. She wanted an iPhone but I personally think iPhone is way overrated. Long story short, we decided on the HTC Titan with Windows Phone -- yes that is how you say it "with Windows Phone". Let me just say that neither one of us were dissapointed. HTC Titan - Wow! First of all it's got a 4.7 inch screen! Double Wow!! We thought it would be too big, but hey, it's only 9.9mm thick. Triple Wow!!! Feels great in the hand and super easy to use. Big screen makes typing so much easier than on smaller screens. The screen will blow you away - really! And boy-howdy is it fast! Can I say quadruple WOW!!!! So we walk-in the AT&T store and the guy who greets us rolls his eyes and turns us over to a younger geeker guy once we say we want to look at Windows Phones -- I guess we weren't cool enough for him to help us. Then the younger geeker guy says, "I have to be honest with you the Windows pho
