Cracked Screen- Warranty?

How did it crack?

Can I hop aboard this topic and say that my screen also cracked about a week after getting it. I never got a chance to nab a warranty for it; it was a gift my old man got as a gift from work.
Am I just boned here, or is there any way I can get this repaired without gettin' jacked outta some irrelevantly high sum of money à la all of my previous iPod experiences?

The warranty does not covers accidental damage, including a cracked screen.

So cracked screens aren't covered in any capacity?
Any clue how much the replacement costs?

If it is a factory defect it is covered. If accidental it is not.

Have an Apple Store near you? Make a Genius Bar appointment.

I was using my iPod nano with the clip when it fell off my shirt and cracked the screen. It still works fine, but bits of the glass are coming off every time I use it. Does this mean that I automatically have no chance at getting it replaced under the warranty? And is there any way that I can get it fixed?

Obviously not covered by your warranty. $89 for Apple to fix it out-of-warranty.

That *****. What a bogus company.
$89 for a piece of glass on a product that's costs, what, $130 or so?
Someone at apple convinced my parents not to fix my iPod classic (which stopped working for absolutely no good reason after a year) and get a nano because they're more "durable" and would be good for jogging and biking.
At this point I'm not even paying for functionality anymore; just design elements.

Take more care of your property and it will last longer.

Warranty covers manufacturing defects or faults, it does not cover accidental damage, loss, theft, etc.

Insurance covers theft, loss, accidental damage, etc.

Apple provide warranty they do NOT provide insurance, it is up to you to provide insurance cover.

AppleCare which can be purchased for Apple only extends the warranty, it does not provide insurance either.

It is not $89 for a piece of glass, they actually give you a replacement device and most likely bin the damaged one as it is not economical to repair.

Moaning here will get you know where, we are just users, Apple do not read these forums.

If you have an issue with the device take it to an Apple Store and ask them to replace it.

You don't mention how your glass got cracked, interesting.

I am no longer following this thread, so will not see your replies.

Wasn't really responding to you but to the other poster, I have no idea what happened to your glass.

You do realize they are not going to repair the glass on your Nano, they are just going to replace it with a service model.

I'm not sure how it started, but it only got worse as I used it.
I had it packed away when I drove from my parents' place after Christmas and, 1000 miles later when I got home, there was a hairline crack in the screen. I didn't notice it at first, and when I did I didn't think much of it since it was only visible from an angle when the screen was lit. It still worked perfectly fine and I kept using it, though... now you can tell from a distance quite easily.

"I was using my iPod nano with the clip when it fell off my shirt and cracked the screen..."

You should learn to treat objects like woman - with love, respect, and care.

Something hit it while it was packed and caused the crack which is not a manufacturing defect.
