Iphone 7+ Fell in my pocket with otterbox case

I just got my new iphone 7+ 128 gb. Today I was walking out to my car in the pouring rain I slipped and fell on my right side, Which my phone was in, My screen was facing my leg and I had it in a otterbox case. My leg got multiple cuts and my hip got bruises. My phone screen is not cracked and the home button works. But the home button vibrator is a bit off. It does not feel like it used to, And while am on the camera mode in snapchat a small green patch appears on the bottom left. The case is scratched too. The phone is still usable but the home button is annoying. Apple says my phone is "eligible hardware repairs and service under Apple's Limited Warranty.Estimated Expiration Date: December 30, 2017" Can I get a replacement phone?


iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.2

The warranty covers manufacturing defects or defects in assembly, as does any warranty. Insurance covers accidental damage, theft, and so forth. A warranty is not insurance.


Your car's warranty doesn't do a thing for if you crash into a tree (unless you can prove that the crash was somehow caused by a defect in the car itself, or a part used in the production of car). Similarly, an iPhone warranty offers nothing if you break your iPhone.


P.S. Does otterbox offer any insurance if using their case? Check their web site or whatever documents came with the case to see if they do, and what the limits of coverage would be.
