5.00 shipping, I'm just going to do a flat rate box. Wish I could do free shipping but I just can't do it right now. :( The tear is on the right top side of the back, and it's just the outer protective layer... you can see it really well on the third picture. I can take paypal, and I don't have a way to measure it but roughly it's about 3.5inches tall and about 6inch long.
