This is exactly how it looks except from the glass crack

Technically that's not exactly how it looks, since that is a Samsung phone and not an iPhone.
But I get what you are saying. And that is far being cracked like your thread title suggests (I know you later recanted that statement). It's just dented and scratched on a corner that it landed on. What did you think was going to happen?
***edit*** ^^^^, ooops, too late for the real pic. Sorry.
You know, I'm thinking they made it aluminum so as to absorb the shock of the fall into the metal so the glass would be harder to shatter.
Yep, that sucks. But hey, had they made it out of plastic it would have had the exact same bruise. A 4/4S would have a shattered back, and a GS3 would have a shattered front. Yours only has a dent. Battle scars.
Poor iPhone. :'(
Good luck to you, OP. It never hurts to visit the genius bar and see what they have to say.
Don't expect to not pay money, you dropped it without a case, at least the screen didn't shatter
now I feel lucky, I dropped my phone 3 times and it didn't break lol

AppleCare is also the name for the one-year warranty any Apple product come with. I think you are referring to the extended AppleCare warranty you can get on their computers.
That is a nasty dent, it hurts to look at. But the rest of the phone seems to have done remarkably well.
