Two Broken Clara HD's, are these salvageable?

Unfortunately these two got damaged from drops. The damage seems mostly limited to the screen.

In one of them, only the glass is cracked but it presses down on the screen meaning it won't always register your input or it will randomly do so itself.

The other is damaged at the top making it unusable. Please are these repairable? Worth hanging on to for any reason?

You can obtain a replacement display for the Clara HD but it will cost about two thirds of the price of a new device, and then you either need to be able to install it yourself or pay someone to do so, so it's not really economic. I would buy a new replacement and a good quality cover and either consider your original devices as potentially useful spare boards or wipe their data and donate or recycle them.
