Is it the plastic cover or the glass underneath?
I dropped something on my K5 and the plastic cover broke into 3. When I pulled out the pieces I was pleased to see the glass underneath was ok.
It cost about £9 to get a replacement by post from Johnsons

Thanks for asking .It's a star burst crack at the bottom right corner on closer the inspection the cracks look fairly deep. So it looks like I've got to bite the bullet and get it replaced.

If you reckon you are competent at doing this repair yourself (assuming your Kr is out of warranty), then the following link might be of interest to you. I'm guessing a professional repair, with a probable 6-months repair warranty will set you back in the order of around £50.00, or thereabouts.
Hope this helps!
