backstory? Interesting that the screen still works. Maybe the front pane is replaceable.

From the flickr set link below:


Well, I guess I'm the clumsiest person in the world. I managed to smash the screen less than 24 hours after I got it. I tried answering a call while it was plugged in and the short cord pulled it out of my hand and hit the corner of a table on the way down. 100% my fault. Believe it or not, I brought this into the Apple store and they gave me a brand new phone for free. Talk about fantastic customer care. I am in love 4-eva with Apple.

well it would have to break at some point


and i think it must have hit pretty damn hard too

Pretty hard, and directly on the glass.

The video where PC World (or was it PC Mag) dropped it from like 5 feet high onto cement and it didn't break was pretty cool...

they even acted like the screen didn't scratch at all.

That's friggin SCARY! I know it's pretty hard to break, but whoa why not use shatter-proof glass? Cool that they replaced it for you.

Be careful everyone.
