If you're having problems with your phone, how about just telling them what problems you're having?
Why do you feel the need to make something up?

Tell them one of the speakers on the bottom of the phone stopped working
Or tell them that when you hold down the Home Button, everything starts jiggling.

Tell them the Warranty states: "Waterproof to 100 feet" but when I washed it off in the tub it stopped working.
If you want to get a free replacement do this, it's what I did.
Sign up for an e-mail that doesn't have SSL, then config it for your iPhone. Take it to them and ask them to figure it out, they won't be able to figure it out and ask maybe I need to replace my phone.
worked for me.

Tell them you were shaking it really hard to get the iPod app to shuffle, and you heard something rattle inside.

Tell the Genius that you paid for "turn-by-turn" GPS and "copy & paste" or else it was a deal breaker...

Use Photoshop to create a boot logo screen identical to the default one, but add three or four white pixels. Then, create a black wallpaper with white pixels in exactly the same places.
Jailbreak the iPhone, use the new boot logo screen and wallpaper, use Poof to hide all of your jailbreak apps (including Poof itself) and then take it in, claiming it has dead pixels.

That's a good question. I'm guessing it's something superficial, like scratches on the bezel/Apple logo or similar.

maybe - but why risk getting a worse phone for something superficial? I'm on my third phone due to cracks and my second one was horrible - dropped calls, safari crashing, bad battery and cracking. Why risk it?
Yeah,seriously,you'll never find a better one if it doesn't have problems a genius would exchange it for,and you'll probably scratch your new one as well,no?
I'm probably on my sixth,bad luck or kind of picky,light leak on all of them,uneven edges,about seven White pixels on most of them,dust on one,bad home button on one,sunken sleep button on the last one,bad silent button and strange issues with this one,some dead pixels and cracks on just one..
I just want a good one for the 569 I payed,I want to scratch myself..
