Still under my 1 year warranty.
Had my phone replaced by Geek Squad w/ refurbished one after I dropped it.
Canceled Geek coverage and now my current iphone lock button is not working.
Checked serial # and the Apple site still says its under the 1-yr warranty.

Would I be able to go to the Apple Store and get my phone fixed/replaced?

My brain says no but became curious after looking up the serial #.

Thanks for the help

Only one way to find out for sure. Go to an Apple store and explain the problem.

What I would question is where Geek Squad got the "refurbished" phone and who it is registered to.

If you go to an Apple Store (to fix/replace your phone) and they determine that you're still under warranty, you might consider getting the regular Apple Care protection plan ($69.99), which will give you an additional year of protection for hardware/software-related issues.
