Sad thing is I didn't buy directly from samsung
Ah sorry to hear that, mind if I ask where you got it from? Was it a refurb? Living in England I know that if I buy an imported phone from Asia, it will not be covered by the warranty. I'm hoping this isn't the case for you.
Unfortunately if out of warranty your only option would be to get it repaired or to repair it yourself. The screen alone is probably not cheap anyway so you might just be better off getting it repaired by a professional rather than buying a screen off ebay and doing it yourself. Or just can sell it on ebay as broken and try and recoup as much money as you can and get a new one.
Or just try and live with it and get it repaired once the price drops a bit.
Hopefully it doesn't inhibit your usage too much.
