S5 Dented :(

[ET2E]

Hi Android Community-

My beautiful S5 has a dent on the bezel (pretty nasty, nephew threw it onto marble) and I was hoping that you all knew what I should do. Please help!!

BTW, I have insurance also, but it never says anything about, "Dents"

First, it probably doesn't cover dents if the phone is working. Second, the deductible is probably about $150. See if a local shop will buy a "bad ESN" phone or one that's electrically shot and transfer your innards into that phone's case for less than the insurance deductible. (If the new [bad] phone's screen is still good, it's not a big job. Transferring the screen is a bit of labor.) Let them know that they can keep anything left over (that may reduce the price).

insurance will likely pay. I have Verizon and my deductible is $99 and new (refurbished) phone arrives next day.
Of course it depends on carrier insurance company and condition. I think it's okay if it's working as long as outs named up. If you don't mind the C-note, break it worse and get it done. It only takes one day! So if you're up to it go for it!
