My phone just did that- it looked just the the picture. For anyone who's afraid of biting their iPhone, I put it on a table and got a small dish rag (just for safety) and pressed down. There was a click and the black part was nestles safely back into the casing. No problems at all.
Got a tip for us?

Good lawd how often does this happen on the plastic ones.
iphone 5c
The exact same thing happened to me when i dropped my 5c i popped the screen right back in myself no problems my phone still works the only bad thing now is that when i push on that corner it makes a clicking sound this is because the screen is now raised just a little bit over the casing more then it should be so when you push on that side your pushing your screen back into the casing.

This same thing happened to me I was so freaked out about it and was scared I would break it by trying to pop it back in but it is actually not a big deal AT ALL.
Just put it on a table or counter and push down with the heel of your hand using the force of your weight as if you were doing CPR. It pops right back in and is good as new if you push down hard enough.
Please don't bite your phone. Please.

Lol that happened to me when I dropped my phone at a grocery store. I just pushed it back in. Good as new. Well not new but it was fine.

Put the phone on the table (use a towel if the table is nice... or use some plastic bags from Wal-Mart if you don't have towels). Raise hammer above head. Now this is arguable, but here's the tricky part: lower the hammer swiftly onto the phone.
Clean up.
The best part is, this works regardless of what direction you face the 5C. Face up? Face Down? Result = Same.
I personally 100% guarantee that by following my guide your screen being outside the casing will no longer be a problem.
Go to store and buy a 5S instead. Enjoy.

Tried the biting method with my 5S, it didn't work... ugh. But at least the phone itself is still functional
Same thing happened to my wife. Dropped the phone and the top right corner popped out.
She took it to the Apple shop today, but they told her they wouldn't fix it! That they would need to replace the handset at a cost of £219...
Very nice Apple, very nice.
So if the bite the phone method doesn't work, what will..?!
So today I dropped my phone and it did the same thing, so the top left corner was coming out of the plastic. I read through these and was planning on going to the apple store, but I wanted to try it myself first. I was really scared to just push it back in, but when I eventually pushed it hard enough it snapped back in. I didn't want to try biting it because that seemed a little ridiculous, but trust me, you won't hurt anything by pushing it back in. I was scared to do this, but it worked fine. I hope this helps anyone else that freaked out when this happened to them!
I did the cutting board, dishtowel, push option and it worked great. My daughter's corner had popped out, too. And she KNEW she dropped it.
Time for a LifeProof case, I think.
I had the same issue today at school. I dropped my phone once more, and the screen popped out in the left corner. Thinking I needed to replace the screen and call in Apple to deal with the hassle, I called my brother for some help.
No need to turn it into the store, all you need to do is pinch it back into place. Yes, I understand it sounds quite like it would break it, it actually works. If you pinch it hard enough into its place you should hear a pop and it should be back to how it was. I hope this helps out a little bit and it saves money and time for you guys needing to know how to fix this situation.

Interesting... All 22 of you are new posters, have 1 post, dropped and bit your phone which seemed to work. Seems legit. Go Go Detective Deejay
I'd say you should leave it at that until it starts giving you trouble. If the problem arises again, I'd seek professional help.
I would also like to confirm that pushing it in fixes it! It just popped mine back in
I was scared there for a second.
