my friend had put her iphone in her back pocket on her way to get a cover, when she pulled it out to put on the cover she noticed the screen had cracked like a baseball had been thrown at a window. she says it costs around 200 bucks to get it fixed. I wouldn't say it's a manufacturer defect or anything i mean it is mineral glass.

Uh, I just got an iphone. Stop trying to scare me!

I am happy to report apple replaced my phone free of charge!!! I was of course very nervous.. first i had my heart broken last night (giants suck), and then my phone today, but Apple came through... nice Job Steve...

@Luis - Man that sucks!! That's the sort of thing that happens with most of the broken iPhone screens from what I've seen online. You break, you buy. ;) That was the oddest part about Chris' phone. It was just sitting there flat on the desk by itself!

@Buddy - *envy* I'm waiting for Gen 2.

@Chris H - You're as cheesy as this blog is. Ha. Glad they got you taken care of! And so fast!

The same thing happened to me last night. In a bar with my iphone in back pocket, leant over to pass barman cash for drinks and heard pop sound...took out my phone and the screen has shattered (expensive round of drinks). Just spoke to apple but will not replace it although can arrange replacement screen for £200.
