When you say this, I would expect that the Touch Screen Digitizer to be okay.
It looks like something ran over it. How far did you drop it from?

from first floor, of the stair...

I would take it to a repair shop and see what they say.The screen etc is stuck to a metal plate(you see the edge of it around the screen).
Take it to a couple of places and get quotes.

In Sweden samsungservices will replace the screen for about 100USD (shipping included). I do not no if this is an international offer, but it's woth checking. If it makes you feel any better my new Note 2 looks like that.:crying:

Mine is also cracked, Samsung told me they would replace it for 140€, since they always have to replace screen and digitizer (its impossible to separate them), I looked in many other places and they always told me 190€..
Mine has just a little crack, so I don't mind using it like this, maybe one day I will replace it.

In the netherland they offerd 195 Euro's
I have read topics where they only replace the glass. I have to do it my self, that is not the problem. But need to be sure what to replace..
I am not offering my phone to a samsung service, its to expensive. Tnx for the replies.

I also thought of doing it myself, I searched on ebay and its also expensive, because you have to buy both, this video has shown me why:

It hurts to look at the phone and the screen is cracked, doesn't it?

If you are not buying a replacement screen kit then just leave the phone as it is.Your going to end up making it worse.
If you think you know better then get the outer glass and try to remove the old one.If underneath is not broken and you stick the outer bit back on,and it works then youve saved money.
You can then come back on here saying how clever you are.And check a few threads about screen replacement in the general section,as there was a clown saying he had managed it.Cant remember his name but he was posting links to a naff you tube offering.He called himself "cadburyfudge"......or some name chocolate based.
