Cashmanimal 0 #1 April 3, 2009 Being the person who took every measure to not break my iPhone, you can imagine how incredibly pissed and heartbroken I am that I cracked my screen last night. Didn't drop it, didn't drop anything on it, didn't even throw it or do anything fun. I heard it ringing, and reached for my pants that I had recently taken off for comfort reasons while I napped on my couch. Couldn't find my phone, so I figured it might have slid under the couch... I slide off the couch to look under and grab it, and the second my knee hit the ground, I heard the "pop" of my screen exploding... turns out, it WAS in my pants (which I had kneeled on because I have the knees of a 90 year old man). ssssssiiiiiigggggggghhhhhh............ please let the thousands of dollars I spend in that store every year be cause for them to at least discount the $250 repairIt's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By this, I would be referring to the Apple store.

regulator 0 #8 April 3, 2009 It sucks about your phone for sure. I dont have an iPhone but I've got a 32 GB iPod touch and I like it alot. I know I'd be pissed if I busted it. But I do have to say...nice TOOL poster on your ceiling. Tool kicks major ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #9 April 3, 2009 Now this is why I use a Blackberry. Drop them and they keep on ticking. They are very tough and durable. Quite a few times I've dropped it on my tile floor, which will split your head open if you were to slip and fall yourself. Most of the time I was able to use my foot to deflect or soften the impact, and it'd go skittering across the floor. It's got plenty of scuff and scratch marks on it. Still working great.

Heatmiser 0 #10 April 3, 2009 +1 I beat the crap outa phones. Curve seems to hold up to abuse. Of course, I have an older 80 Gb Ipod that looks like I drove over it, but it still works great What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience.

There are cheaper places to buy screens if you spend a little more time looking. Their prices are good mind you. jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's ironic that I too have pulled the ol' drop-n-try-to-catch-it-with-your-feet many, many times with this phone. I have also given it multiple drops that i thought would crack the screen for sure, but it held up nicely with its rubber case. The ironic part being that a slothy roll off the couch is what broke it. BUT..... GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! Apple acknowledged my good standing as a customer, and more importantly, a returning customer. The Apple representative basically walked me into getting a new phone. "What exactly happened to the phone, sir? Dropping it is not considered normal use, which would not prompt us to give any price breaks." That was basically my cue to pull the "I don't really know what happened, I might have leaned on a counter or railing. I just pulled it out of my pocket and it was cracked." New (not refurb, not repaired) phone will be in the mail as soon as they receive mine.
