Cracked my new 16GB iPod Touch by absorbation on 01-20-2008 at 12:23 PM

Ouch, all that care and molly coddling and I have dropped my iPod 4 feet in the air straight onto its face, cracking it on the hard concrete. One nasty line in the expensive glass screen, I felt horrified.

So I went to the Apple Store to see how much repair would cost, I knew the glass screen could be replaced manually, with places like eBay selling them for $160 with instructions to replace it yourself. I could only imagine what Apple would charge me ... :tongue:

The genius bar at the store were really helpful, I found out that a cracked screen by accident is covered under warranty! 5 minutes later I had a brand new iPod Touch with the new £13 upgrade, all for free, with my warranty starting over again!

Apple Support is the best experience I have ever had, it doesn't have lots of limitations that effect the users, nor does it care about squeezing money from you. At the end of the day I got a brand new iPod where in other circumstances I would not even receive a penny as it was my own fault. I just wish I had time to take pictures ... :zippy:

Nice, so you got the new 1.1.3 Touch with the iPhone apps?
But you cant jailbreak 1.1.3 as of yet :(

1.1.3 is jailbroken, but they won't release it until the new SDK is out :P.

I've dropped mine about 5 feet onto concrete and there's only two tiny tiny little bumps on two corners \o/

No, if the iPod Touch was purchased after the 17th of Jan i think, you get all the extra apps free on 1.1.3.

wait, if you crack the screen they give you a new one? with a new warranty?

which is stupid because it should only be £10, as it's $20 USD
