“@TheLittles: So, you're saying that it is worth paying 1300 USD for something that won't last for even a year and a half? And that the quality of Apple product's hardware won't last that long and that's acceptable.”

Just Get a New Screen:
No. I’m saying just to get the screen replaced. It might $100 USD or so. There is no need for a new phone (unless it is all crutches up and no longer usable.
Based on Personal Experience:
Apply Liquid Protection:
If this is not covered by AppleCare, then get a product called LiquidNano or Liquid Armor. The instructions are printed on a pamphlet that is included in the packaging. I have it on all my mobile devices —iPhone, iPod, and iPad.
If you get the screen damaged, it just puts a minor dent in it, rather than creating a crater or a crack through it. In fact, mine has a ding in the screen, and it still works just fine for me.
The manufacturer provides you with a $150USD guarantee that the screen will not crack —because if it cracked, then the applied product would not do be doing its job.
