It had to happen sometime...

Dropped the phone Saturday night on a hard kitchen floor, dropped it twice in a row actually. The bottom right of the screen is cracked pretty good. All touchscreen still works, I just have the fugly crack here.

Making up a story to try and get a warranty to replace this is gonna be tough though =/. Any suggestions?

Tip of the day: Don't show off your phone in a kitchen while drunk.

tip #2, get a cleartouch screen protector and a rubber skin for the iPhone ($25 total) then you can throw it across the pavement, having it bounce face down.... and you'll have no issues!

(it was THE day I got those protectors, too.... I was so effin' happy!

You're probably going to get flamed for "trying to make up a story" but it's your decision. I know that Apple was initially replacing a lot of cracked iPhones but I don't know if they still are.

just say an Apple employee did it.

the customer is always right

Be honest and cough up the money for a new one.

I am the biggest klutz in the world. I actually refused to take the iPhone out of the box and the plastic since I had not had a case and screen protector yet. Much to my boyfriend's aggravation, I stuck to it. And we had to drive 2 hours to the nearest Apple store to get some protection for it, before I would use it at all.

Not to rub insult on injury, but letting your iPhone go totally nude is just tempting the gods. No matter how careful you are, someday gravity will have its way and you'll feel like kicking yourself for not spending that extra $35 or so to protect $400 or so. Like the old saying goes: S**t happens...
