Help!!! Is scratch covered under warranty?

[tedwu100]

I accidentally scratched the aluminum side on my iPhone 4, I just got a phone for 1 day. Anyone know if its cover in warranty, that I could get a replacement phone?

No, it’s not covered. Don’t commit fraud like the poster above told you to do.

Edit: And from now on, try to use better thread titles. One word titles like “Help!” don’t “help” anyone to help you.

YOU "accidentally scratched the aluminum side" on YOUR iPhone 4. Not even close to what you describe, which was a manufacturer defect.

If you saw someone get a replacement with a scratched back, it was because the Genius was being nice.

In the Terms and conditions booklet is says "The warranty does not apply to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches"
Now I couldent get my head around this what does it mean? Does it cover? or does it not???

So you scratched your phone and it's Apples fault?
Replace it cause of something that you caused and not a manufacturer defect?
Live with it and next time put a case or be more careful with it instead of trying to pull a scam.

It means your warranty doesn't cover scratches...which would be considered a cosmetic damage.

Stop trying to figure out how to get one over on Apple and just enjoy the phone.

What I would do is open up the phone with a spudger and then cut the cable connecting the front part of the phone to the circuitry. This will disable the touchscreen. Then just put it back together nice and neat and tell the suckers at apple that it malfunctioned

Its just a scratch. Its not a big deal especially if its on the aluminum part. I would trade my screen scratches for aluminum scratches any day.

Good luck with that. Your question has been answered multiple times. Sorry that you don't like the answers you've been given. Time to probably close the thread.

And remember...what goes around, comes around.
