Get a computer (Mac preferred), install iTunes, plug in phone, configure iTunes to store the backup encrypted (be sure to remember the password) and to sync EVERYTHING, then sync the phone to the computer. You'll get a backup containing the whole guts of the phone, that you can later use to Restore onto the new iPhone you'll have to get.


Once you have the backup, take the phone in for assessment so you know what the cost will be. If you purchased AppleCare+ for it, I believe you have up to 2 damage incidents in the 2-year coverage period. These cover damage for a modicum of $80, compared to the $200+ for standard out-of-warranty replacement cost.
