Just a warning to be careful not to drop your iphone or put it in a spot where it can god forbid drop. DH had his in his laptop bag in the side pocket used for these type of things. He put it in there when he got out of the car just so he can carry everything upstairs. He put the bag on the couch when he walked in so he can take off his coat and bam the bag tips over, the phone falls on the floor and the whole screen got shattered since it is glass. Of course i check the warranty and it says if you drop it or break it yourself it is not under warranty. Since Dh was working I went to the apple store and just got back, hoping to god that somehow it can be under the warranty and sadly no. So had to pay for a brand new phone, one little mistake and it cost him. The guy was telling me about how he feels bad they cant give ppl a new phone without them having to pay for it again, bc he has had quite a few ppl come in with the same thing. One guy he said put it in his back pocket and forgot and sat down and it shattered, someone else dropped it too and same thing. He said he has dropped his too but luckily it didnt land on the screen.
So yeah just be careful bc you dont want to pay for a whole new phone dh is happy to have a new one right now but HATED having to pay for it

no I dont think so, i couldve sworn i looked this up and couldn't find anything and I asked about this, i think they said no lol i dont know why i cant remember exactly. I will call tomorrow actually to find out, but i asked what can i do or buy to make sure this doesnt happen again, they mentioned one case but said it wont help much. They said its unfortunate but usually you have to buy a new one
but i will call just to double check with this, it s*cks but they should have this.

Re: Be cautious with your IPHONE
OMG the day I bought my iPhone, i literally walked out of the Apple store, went to look at it, in my purse, and DROPPED it in the parking lot, right on the pavement. I FREAKED out, but amazingly it did not break (although the back got scratched up, which was bad enough, since it was brand spankin new). This happened literally within 3 minutes of me buying it. I was lucky! Since then, I got a protective case for it, but I'm still worried about breaking it.

I paid full retail price for it. I thought maybe some sort of discount or something but NOPE had to pay the $299 price for it that anybody would pay buying a new one

I think it's ridiculous to have to pay that much for the phone...it's not like you were buying a new plan!

i just posted above and looked it up and says that AT&T doesnt offer insurance on Iphones. BUT the guy did ask me if i was going to pay with an AMEX and i said no didnt have it on me, i was so mad bc if i knew ahead of time i would've. But they said with the AMEX card they have this protection plan where you can possibly get a new phone without paying
