Crack in my screen...crap

[ManBearPig]

Well apparently theres a crack in my iPhone 3GS screen, but i dont know how. It didnt fall and its in a case with a screen protector. anyway, is it worth taking it to the apple store to see what they say? the actual screen isnt cracked, it seems like its under it. its in a case and has a screen protector too.

Its still functional, i'm just annoyed. To have them look at it, do I call and set up an appointment or just walk in? Also, how much is it if i want to replace it?

you can all laugh at me now. 🙁

ill take a picture when i have access to a digital camera. i use the phone as my camera most of the time so my real camera is at home.

Not to pry, but I assume your talking about an iPhone? You never actually mention the cracked product in your post 🙂

If you are willing it is possible to replace it yourself for not too much money.

yah its possible to just replace the glass. Seemed easy enough on ifixit, but if you still have warranty, you might wanna do it with apple so you don't void your warranty.

if the glass itself is not cracked then there is a flaw in the LCD and that would be covered by warranty.

Thank you kind sirs. I guess ill call apple and set up an appointment with their "geniuses." heres hoping i dont get shafted. i guess this calls for a new case and screen protector. yayyyyyyy.....actually not yay, these damn iphone products are so expensive.

If they try to weasel out of it, try to persuade them to believe that the glass being intact means that it was not the result of being subjected to abuse. Perhaps temperature fluxuations?

Good luck.

they replaced it! thanks for all your help guys.

They told me since it looked like it originated from the corner, yet no damage was visible in the corner, and that since the glass wasnt broken, it probably wasnt me. they said it looks like it was pressure related so maybe dont press against it hard or something.

anywho, it was pretty fast besides the fact that it was SO BUSY there. it probably wouldve taken no time at all if there wasnt like a million people in the store. its the only store in the state so i guess thats understandable.

oh, and this screen has no yellow tint, and is brighter and sharper than the last one! yeaaah!
