take it to the genius bar and hope they are empathetic.
the corner of mine cracked monday. took it to the genius bar (austin - barton creek) and after a couple of minutes of convincing, they acknowledged they could repair it for free. they let me know i was lucky, and this is only "a one time thing".
today, i picked it up at the store. it was a brand new iphone.

Earlier this morning I backed my Acura TL into a pole. I called Honda and asked them to send me a new car for free. Can you BELIEVE they had the audacity to tell me that I would have to pay for the repairs myself? Honda's really going to start losing customers with that kind of attitude. I mean I'd expect to have to pay for the repairs for a Corolla, but this is a $35k car we're talking about here!
my case was defective as well imo in that it scratched the phone all up. Sucks to buy a protective device and to have it actually play a part in actual damage.
Still accidental damage. If you really want, call the case company and ask them what they'll do about it, but I wouldn't hold my breath...
That truly sucks. My inCase is sloppy now as well. I'm searching for it's replacement. So far the device is yet to leave my pocket "caseless". It's way to slick to handle without something.
+1
(I'm so glad it is only $249. I expected apple to charge more but now won't feel quite as much like crop if I drop it.)
Just take it to the Acura Genius Bar...I hear they are replacing them for free as long as you caused the damage.
I tried that yesterday after reading some posts here, and the guy told me that I would have to pay out of pocket, and that I'd have to rent a car while my Acura is being fixed!!!
I don't know what kind of shenanigans they're trying to pull over there, but I told that guy that I AM VERY IMPORTANT and that I most assuredly would not be leaving until they gave me a new car.
You'd think that would have shown him that I am a loyal Acura buyer and that he wasn't dealing with a consumer who was going to take it lying down, but no, he went and called the police.
CLASS ACTION SUIT, ANYONE?!?!!!?!!?
Well you could pour salt in the wound . . . uh, er crack
Seriously, I'd take it back to the Apple Store to see what they'll do.
