Did you purchase it using an Amex card or equivalent with accidental damage protection? If so, file a claim with them for $199, making it free.
Good call. It was on my CC but not an Amex. I'll give them a call and check it out.

You're not going to believe this.. the Genius gave me a brand new iPhone 4 for free. I was upfront with him and told him I'd drowned it in water and that I could literally pour water out of bottom ports.

Wow! You got super lucky! The genii are always real jerks to me. I had the cracking issue for my 3GS and he asked memif I chewed on my phone and he wouldn't replace it.

The moral of your experience was the fact that you were upfront and honest to the Genius. 🙂

Wow, thats awesome. How did the conversation with the genius go? Obviously you were upfront about what happened. What led him to give you a free replacement instead of making $200 off of you?
