Here's my sob story. I was out for New Years and in a bar at somewhere around 5am. You know how they say nothing good ever happens after midnight, well that was true here. I had my phone in my hand and a girl standing next to me accidentally bumped into my arm and knocked my caseless phone out of my hand. It dropped about 3 feet onto a tile floor hitting the bottom left corner first as you can see by the picture.
I wasn't happy, but I also knew that even though I didn't have insurance, that I had the Droid Turbo screen assurance program to get it replaced, so I let the girl buy me a drink and that was that.
I called Verizon the next day to activate an older phone, because the Turbo was completely unresponsive, and to file a claim with the screen assurance program. The activation went fine, but the rep had no clue what I was talking about with assurance program. He just kept saying, "sir you don't have insurance" and I kept explaining that I didn't get insurance because of the assurance program. He told me it must be a Motorola program and that he would transfer me to them. Finally I read him the FAQ from Verizon's website to convince him to put me on hold to ask someone else. He did, took about 20 minutes and he came back saying yes I would get a new phone and telling me how great a program it was.
Took longer than I had hoped, but my replacement phone should be here today. I can't wait, my old phone seems like trash compared to the Turbo! Yes I will be putting insurance on the replacement, no case though, the phone looks to sweet IMHO.
TL DR summary: Screen cracked cause of a drunk girl, Verizon rep had no clue about the screen assurance program, but after some convincing he found the info about the program and replaced my phone.
