Chip in chrome piece around S3

**AppleGeek21** · 07-29-2012, 08:31 PM

Today my phone slipped out of my hand and fell down the side of my car. When I picked it up I noticed a chip in the chrome making it stand out because its a different color. I am still within my 30 days so I could technically return it and get another one in a different color or something but I'm not sure its worth it if there are fixes for things like this. Will most likely put a case on that would probably cover but for resell purposes I'd like it fixed.

I don't think the 30 day window applies to accidents. If you have insurance, file a claim and go that way. When the replacement arrives, put a Defender on it. Going commando looks great but, in the active world, protection is more important.

Yu can try and swap it out and see if they don't notice the mark but if they do they can't replace it

Yeah I'm just trying to decide if it's really worth it especially since I have a white one that doesn't seem to have any problems. I if I do bring it in then I'd have to come up with a reason why I'm bringing it in I guess.

I agree that you would compound an accident with another problem. Integrity has a price and it is hard to do the right thing when no one else is looking.

The plastic silver ring is VERY fragile. I forgot my tps case at home recently and dropped it onto the floor and it ended up with four gouges in the "silver" ring. Too bad you can't snap on a new ring.

Just a heads up for those who want to go "naked".
