Iphone indicator sticker help

Well according to Apple's Guidelines for Damage Classification for iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, and 4S, under where it says "Paid Service" (in yellow), it shows that if the indicator sticker shows pink damage then the phone is not covered under warranty and you would have to pay for service. However, in your situation you stated that you accidentally scratched up the indicator sticker, which is not stated in the picture/link below. Also, since the indicator sticker is just "scratched" and does not show pink, then I assume that your phone should still be covered under warranty, But, since you also mentioned that you were attempting to get something out of the headphone jack, if there is visible signs of "damage" from you trying to get the thing out like, scratches to the jack itself and not the sticker you might also have to pay for service since its classified under "Audio jack damage with foreign material that cannot be removed" even though the foreign object was removed by you, the audio jack may still show signs of damage, and therefore would not be covered under warranty.
