I have a 3G, extended warranty - i just noticed some divets on my screen. At first i thought i was having a pixel issue, but i can feel the bumps. I dont know where they came from as i havent dropped it (recently) I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue - and whether or not its covered by warranty. Please share your thoughts.
 
Ah you got the braille touch screen..

Sorry, never hear of this and it should be cover under warranty.

I can imagine that applecare will simply say you've dropped it at some point. I don't think that the glass has mechanically malfunctioned and randomly indented itself, and so they probably won't either.

That's not sarcasm, btw. But they probably will just call it accidental and not do much.
 
Personally I would try to have them replace it. Don't let people here discourage you from trying. If you don't try then you'll never know whether they'll replace it or not.
 
Take it back to apple.

It is a known issue, my developed the same problem around November last year.

Apple handed me a new one and I was on my way in 10 minutes of entering the store
