I dropped my S2 on the floor yesterday during the match, wasn't from a great height (about a foot), fell onto laminate flooring.
Picked it up, glanced at it and didn't notice any damage, however I was slightly distracted by the match. After the final whistle I picked it up, turned it on to send a tweet and noticed the glass is shattered from the left of the home button outwards. The cracks go about a third of the way up the viewable screen, though the touch screen does work fine even when tapping on the cracks.
Question is - should I be able to get this repaired under warranty on the basis that it shouldn't have smashed like that from such a small height, especially considering its Gorilla Glass which is supposed to be much stronger than normal screens? I know I shouldn't have dropped it in the first place, but my opinion is that they should be built to withstand small knocks like that. A mate of mine broke is iphone screen after it fell off a desk from twice the height - I told him to take it back to the apple store and tell them it was a built quality issue - he did so and they replaced it without argument. However took my phone back to O2 yesterday and they said they'd have to send it away for repair and I'd have to pay for it (upwards of £100). I have accidental damage cover on my home insurance but its got a £100 excess.
Only had it since around September, I'm on a 24 month contract and can't afford to pay out over £100 on a repair at the moment.
