If its a Nano and still under warranty, just smash the screen and get an entire replacement...
*This technique only works with Nano models so don't go smashing your iPod Mini or iPod Video screens deliberately...

Accidental or deliberate, physical damage isn't covered under the warranty

So thats the equivilant of buying a car, hitting it in the middle of the bonnet with a hammer & then taking it back & expecting it to be repaired/replaced under the warranty?
Plus if what your saying is right how come all major retailers are allowed to sell extended warranties on such products? One of the benefits of the policy is that it covers damage

We're talking about iPod Nano's here not any other product... And yes, i guess you could say it is the equivalent of taking a hammer to the bonnet of your new car.

Apple
One-Year Limited Warranty
WARRANTY COVERAGE
Apple's warranty obligations for the iPod and iSight are limited to the terms set forth below:
Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") warrants the iPod and iSight product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase ("Warranty Period").
If a defect arises and a valid claim is received by Apple within the Warranty Period, at its option, Apple will (1) repair the product at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product.
If a defect arises and a valid claim is received by Apple after the first one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Warranty Period, a shipping and handling charge will apply to any repair or exchange of the product undertaken by Apple.
Apple warrants replacement products or parts provided under this warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of the replacement or repair for ninety (90) days or for the remaining portion of the original product's warranty, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes Apple's property. When a refund is given, your product becomes Apple's property.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
This Limited Warranty applies only to the iPod and iSight products manufactured by or for Apple that can be identified by the "iPod" or "iSight" trademark, trade name, or logo affixed to it. This Limited Warranty does not apply to any non-Apple hardware product or any software, even if packaged or sold with the iPod or iSight product. Non-Apple manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers may provide a separate warranty for their own products packaged with the iPod or iSight product.
Software distributed by Apple under the Apple brand name is not covered under this Limited Warranty. Refer to Apple's Software License Agreement for more information.
Apple is not liable for any damage to or loss of any programs, data, or other information stored on any media contained within the iPod or iSight product, or any non-Apple product or part not covered by this warranty. Recovery or reinstallation of programs, data or other information is not covered under this Limited Warranty.
This warranty does not apply: (a) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, misapplication, or non-Apple products; (b) to damage caused by service performed by anyone other than Apple; (c) to a product or a part that has been modified without the written permission of Apple; or (d) if any Apple serial number has been removed or defaced.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY AND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. APPLE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IF APPLE CANNOT LAWFULLY DISCLAIM OR EXCLUDE IMPLIED WARRANTIES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THEN TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE ANY CLAIMS UNDER SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL EXPIRE ON EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. No Apple reseller, agent, or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition to this warranty.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, APPLE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONDITION, OR UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING ANY COSTS OF RECOVERING OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA STORED IN OR USED WITH THE APPLE PRODUCT, AND ANY FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA STORED ON THE PRODUCT. APPLE SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANY PRODUCT UNDER THIS WARRANTY OR MAKE A PRODUCT EXCHANGE WITHOUT RISK TO OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA.
FOR CONSUMERS WHO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS OR REGULATIONS IN THEIR COUNTRY OF PURCHASE OR, IF DIFFERENT, THEIR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE, THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS WARRANTY ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONVEYED BY SUCH CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS. TO THE EXTENT THAT LIABILITY UNDER SUCH CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY BE LIMITED, APPLE'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED, AT ITS SOLE OPTION TO REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE PRODUCT OR SUPPLY OF THE REPAIR SERVICE AGAIN.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
Please review the online help resources referred to in the accompanying documentation before seeking warranty service.

Cracked iPod nano Screen Update
Applies to US/Canada/Europe/Latin America/Asia-Pacific
Some customers may report that their iPod nano has a cracked screen. Apple service providers should process iPod nano products with cracked screens as covered repairs in GSX.
The AppleCare Repair Centre will also be processing such repairs as covered repairs.
The joys of having access to restricted information.

Don't really care if you think you're right or not Fact is that if you go buy an ipod, smash the screen & then take it back the answer you will get will be what I said
PS you were never right about anything in the first place

If that is the attitude of the company you work for, it's a good job people register their products (remember that warranty thread? ) and deal direct with the manufacturer because Apple WILL swap out iPod Nano's with cracked screens under warranty.

That's not me and that would not be covered under warranty as it has a damaged case too.
Physical damage to the screen is covered under warranty, physical damage to the case is not.

I work for Dixons stores group, possibly one of the largest electrical retailers in the UK (if not the biggest) & our policy is that it is not covered. Thats in accordance to the sales of goods act & is obviously legal
