Scratched the iPhone 4 screen with a rock, now I have rainbow lines

Whoo, was it a full on double rainbow? Maybe a triple rainbow? What does it mean?

well since u cant get any worse i would go to a parts store like autozone or advanced auto whatever u have near u and get a glass repair kit, usually comes with some epoxy and some other stuff. u are getting rainbow colors because the light is refracting, the repair kit will fill the crack much like it does on a windshield same idea behind repairing cd's or dvd's. google it also there are a few things u can do but i say that is your best bet for front screen.

LOL Werewolfcub! That is hysterical.

Forget your phone. Why did you have a rock in your pocket?

Well, too bad. We are. Because that's gotta' be pretty low there, intelligence-wise, to do that.

There is one risk. Apple may not replace the glass at no cost.
They can still replace scratched material for you on the TOS guideline.

Read section b II of the contract where they don't enlist in self help repair service or non apple service work done. It also says no accidents but don't say that.

I like that cuz. Glass repair kit - any risks involved with using that though?

Greetings,

Basically you're screwed, unless one of those eyeglasses scratch repair kits won't help. I would think it would help. Otherwise, you'll need to get the glass replaced, cha ching, if it is too bad for you to use.

One of those filmy scratch guards wouldn't have helped much, if at all, as the "rock" would have cut through those with little trouble. I never use them, but I don't usually carry rocks around in my pocket either.

I did drop my earlier iPhone, first generation, and broke the screen. I had to pay a bit to get it replaced, but I earned it, since it was my fault. You live and learn.

Cheers,
M.

My daughter was being attacked by zombies and dropped her two week old 3G iphone and smashed her glass. The zombie game is a form of capture-the-flag game played on collage campuses.

Perhaps it was his pet rock.

I think we should all just assume this, the only worthy explanation! 🙂

When my wife shattered the screen on her 3g we took it to a cellphone repair place. They put in a new screen for $100, took about an hour. You might be able to do something similar with your iphone4.
