Genius bar

My iPhone has developed a 5mm crack from the middle of the dock connector heading upwards towards the back on my 3G. Finished my contract now, on the simplicity deal now.

Ive read that a number of people seem to have this problem, as its out of warently would I still be able to claim off the insurance? Which is with O2. Or would it be better to book an appointment at the genius bar? I spoke to O" and they said I would be without my iPhone for 2weeks

Or am I just worrying about nothing

Iam just thinking of the resale value really.

Thanks Feek, you think that even tho its way past the 12month warranty they will still replace it?

Ok thanks, any idea why they replace it tho? If you had the same problem with say a Nokia or Samsung I doubt they would replace it free of charge.

Seems a good gesture on behalf of Apple.

Mine is the 3G 16GB model. Would love a 3GS replacement with the old bootroom. But on the other hand a refurb 3G would suit me better as I like to jb mine.
