Is apple still replacing cracked screens?

I have an Ipod nano I got about a month ago. I've taken pretty good care of it, and keep it in a leather case with a hard front/back and belt clip pretty much all the time (except when it's docked w/ the pc).
Tonight I took it off my belt to plug it in, and the screen is cracked. There is no physical damages to the outside, but the lcd is obviously damaged, with the liquid puddling near the crack.
I looked for information and found that apple was reportedly replacing screens/ipods with this issue as recently as February of this year, but am not finding anything more recent saying they are or aren't.
I got my ipod delivered 8/18/06, but when I look it up on apple's warranty site it says it was purchased in 11/05. (I got it as a prize from a company, so it likely sat in their warehouse for a time.
I'll call apple in the morning to speak with them, but does anyone have recent experience on trying to get service for a nano with a cracked screen and no external damage?

Well, it seems it's not just the call center that's confused.
I sent my iPod in, since the verdict seemed uncertain. The day they received it, the status on the website updated to say they had found accidental damage or abuse and service was declined. Below that it said they shipped the original back to me on 10/7/06.
Several days later, I got an email from apple, saying that my replacement process had been completed, and the replacement ipod had been shipped to me. This email included a tracking number, where the website status did not. Tracking the package, it's shipping from China, so I'm assuming they actually did replace my nano. (I shipped the original to CA for service, so I doubt they shipped it back to me by way of china)
I'll post again to be certain, but it seems they are still replacing ipod nano's with broken screens.

  • Will Apple still replace the screen on my iPod Touch 4th gen.?

    I dropped my iPod and completely cracked the whole front of my iPod. I got it a Target a month ago and I lost my receipt. Will Apple still replace it?

    @lllaass I just cracked the screen on my Ipod touch 8gb 4th gen which i just bought wednesday from Target. However, I have one of those military grade portective films over it. Was that supposed to protect it? Not sure, but I also have another issue. I live an hour away from the nearest apple store and I don't want to make an appointment at the Genius bar and still have to pay. Should I just take my chances and schedule one? Or are there other places that might be able to replace it for cheaper?

  • Does Apple stores replace cracked screens??

    Please Help!!!!

    Only for iPhone 5.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • HT3743 If my ipod5th gen is jailbroken will Apple still replace the screen...Ihave the extra 2 year warrenty meaning i have 2 accidental damage things.Or will i have to erase every thing the put in the back up.

    The title says it all

    Jailbreaking voids the warranty. Apple will not repair your iPod and as soon as they realise it's been jailbroken, they will return it to you in the same condition that you sent it to them.

  • Will apple still replace my phone even with a cracked screen?

    The power button on my Iphone 4S was stuck. I was taking it to the Apple store to see what they could do and on the way I cracked my screen. Will apple still replace my phone because the power button was broke first?

    You'd better ask them. All we users can do is offer ipinions.  My opinion is you should take $199 (or local equivalent) with you.

  • Will Apple still replace my power button if my screen isn't the original apple screen?

    I took an iPhone I have into Apple last month and they said that for them to replace the power button they had to replace my screen first because it was a little bit off. I didn't want to pay so I went ahead and replaced the screen myself. Will Apple still replace my power button (through the program of course) if the screen isn't the original Apple screen? It is an iPhone 5 64gb

    Ralph is correct. When you replace anything on your phone yourself, you void any warranty that is left on the phone, and even any support thereafter. Apple does not support third party products, and they will not touch your phone if you are willing to replace things yourself instead of spending the extra to go to a store to do it right. Sorry.

  • My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
    But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement.  That is not necessarily true.  Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is.  They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

  • Can apple fixed a cracked screen?

    I cracked my iPod screen and was wondering if I could take it to an apple retail store and get it fixed

    Yes.  If it is not covered by warranty they will replace the whole unit for a fixed cost, not just the screen.

  • I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace cracked screen and now am told main part of I-Pod needs to be replaced.volume button no longer works, headphone and locking device also no longer working. Even though it all worked when given

    I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace a cracked screen. Told it need the main part to it. They said the volume button, headphone and locking part no longer worked. Told me to pick it up. When I gave it to them all components were working. Said because they weren't able to fix it there was no charge. Don't understand this.

    Probably when you dropped, kicked, smashed, threw, or whatever you did to break your screen it also damaged the logic board and the connections to the volume button, headphone jack and sleep button. Happens all the time. Apparently the shop you selected to work on it is not very good so take them off your shopping list.
    Then go buy a 5th Generation iPod Touch.
