That was what they wrote as the problem and reason for a free iPad Mini Verizon cellular replacement - "single hairline crack".
The genius said it was the best type of cracked screen to have because it was covered under Apple's warranty. They noted I did have Apple Care Plus but that was for accidental abuse.
Within 5 minutes they brought a replacement, which I assume was remanufactured. They popped out my sim and sent me on my way.
Wish I would have taken a picture of my screen to post here, but it was a single crack that traversed the bottom right corner of the screen.
How did this occur? The iPad mini slid off my couch and hit a porcelain bowl face first that was on the floor. The bowl was a goner, the screen had a crack. The mini faired better from that interaction.
I was fully prepared to pay $49 as required, but I guess I lucked out.
Oh, I got the iPad mini December 2012.
Hope this helps someone out there who may have had the same unfortunate incident that befell me.
Cheers.
