Will Apple Care fix a phone with a broken back glass?

I bought an iPhone 4 in July 2010 at an ATT store, and bought an Apple Care plan with it at the same time. I managed to shatter the back glass of my phone on the day I bought it. It's been working fine ever since with the broken back glass. I just put it in a case and haven't worried about the back being broken.
However, recently the home button has stopped working very well. I am still under Apple Care extended warranty; however, I don't know if they will fix my home button with the back glass being broken. Does anyone have any ideas or ever been in this situation?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Just to be clear--I'm not asking them to fix the back glass, which I know is not covered by warranty. I'm asking if they will fix something else that shoudl be covered. They could send it back to me with the back glass still broken as long as the home button worked.
Sorry, but you're going to be out of luck. There is no way to prove that the damage that cased the glass to crack did not also cause the problem you want fixed under warranty. The only option Apple is going to give you is a $149 out of warranty replacement.

Your warranty does not cover damage due to user's negligence. Sorry to say, but you will need to pay for any repairs.

If i accidentally drop and break my macbook pro will apple care fix it ?

NOTE: Apple Care nor the standard warranty does not cover accidental damage. You will be responsible for the repair costs (which are usually more than the cost of the computer).
If you have homeowners or rental coverage check w/them. Most policies cover accidental damage.
If you purchased your computer w/a credit card, check w/them also. You just may be covered.

Will apple take an ipod 4 with a broken screen and put money tward an ipod 5?

My dad and sister think that if i take my iPod 4 in and try to get money for a 5 it'll be worthless how mine is can someone clarify if that is true or not. I really want to put money for an ipod 5 badly.

Hey Mazals, No, your family is right, you can recycle your iPod by turning it over to Apple, and as Skydiver119 has stated it's not much, 10% off the purchase price of a new Apple device, so a $300 iPod = $30 off the price, it's about what it would cost to get ride of an electronic device if you took it to a recycling center, you just can't throw these things away in the trash. Some electronics store will give you more toward the purchase of a new product, provided you buy the replacement from there store. (Generally, the device has to be in good working order, cracked screen may not qualify). I don't which ones, you'll have to do some research. Your other option is fix you iPod and continue to use it, BUT, there's always a but... you need to way in if it's worth fixing. Used iPod 4 are selling for about the cost to replace the screen-- provided you do the labor to replace the screen. Not worth doing if you plan to fix it and sell it. What ever you do, make sure you make a full backup to your computer before you recycle, repair, or sell. If you decide to sell don't forget to untether it from your computer, unlock it wipe it clean, so the next owner, can use it. Since your sights are set for a new iPod, I would recycle with Apple. (Skydiver119 has given you all need to complete this task). Hope this helps, Cheers.

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.

If you purchased your iPhone from Apple within the last 14 days then you can return it to switch it for another color if you wish.
If you purchased it through your carrier, then you will need to look at their returns policy, but I expect it would be similar.

Do I have to pay apple to fix my phone screen if my warranty is still valid.

If you damaged the screen, then yes, you have to pay. But most Apple stores can replace the screen for a relatively small fee. If the screen was defective there will be no charge for replacement.

I dropped my MacBook Pro and the corner of the lid got dented. Will apple care cover that? If not, and ideas what the repair cost would be?

Will apple care cover a dented corner? If not, any ideas on repair prices?

AppleCare does not cover accidental damage. Your homeowners'/renters' insurance may. Put them on notice of an accident now.
We are end users like you and have no way of knowing costs in your area. The repair cost will probably be higher for a Retina MBP than for a non-Retina, but you've not told us which of the dozens of MacBook Pro variants you have.
Call an Apple Store and make an appointment. Estimates are usually free.

Will Apple Care covers if I have Ghost Armor on my iPad screen?

I just got the new iPad and then the next day have those guys in the mall from Ghort Armor to fully have screen protector for my iPad. Will apple care/warranty mind if I have it on, in case my ipad needs repair/replacement? Thanks

You'd need to remove the screen protector before you send/take the iPad to Apple, but as long as the cover doesn't make any permanent modifications to the iPad, it won't have any negative warranty impact.
Regards.

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.
