I have an iPhone 5s screen which was dropped and the screen was shattered. The phone was dropped on the top corner and is now dented slightly inwards, this is causing a problem when trying to replace the screen as it isn't sitting properly in the frame. I don't want to force it in as I don't want to break the new glass. Are there any suggested methods to re corner the frame?
Is this a good question?

You could always buy an new chassis for the phone. They can be a little pricey but also allows you to customize the phone with a wide selection of colors. Check out iphone4parts.com. I will post the link that goes directly the part your phone uses.

Alternately, you could search for other bezels or chassis on ebay.com, amazon.com and also aliexpress.com.

You could see if a local store has a tool in stock called a gtool. This is used to bend out dented frames.
Or you could shave down the dent with a metal flathead screwdriver.
