Just dropped my touch pro and scratched it. How can I get it replaced?

This always freekin happens to me. This happened with my razr, with my samsung a900 and my Q9c. I was in my car talking on my touch pro. After talking, for some reason, I ALWAYS put the phone on my lap. As I was getting out of the car, the phone flew into the sidewalk and to make things worse, I stepped on it and as a result, did a split on top of the phone and scraped it 3 feet accross the ground. Now it looks terrible. I have tep but I'm sure they will not replace it for cosmetic issues. Does anyone know how to brick the phone so I can get a replacement? Thanks

OUCH! I've done that before minus the stepping on it.

Run it over with the car! then file the insurance claim.

if it always happens, why havent you learned by now? i did the same thing once. but i learned and now i always put it into the center console after calls. keep the phone and use it as a reminder to put the phone in a safe place, maybe then you can train yourself

TEP is supposed to cover damage from normal wear and tear w/o going through Asurion ($50 deductible). At least that's what their brochures say, but YMMV.

Why haven't I learned by now? Cause I'm a big giant idiot! I can't multitask. I was looking for an address and as soon as I found it, my mind went blank and I forgot I even had a phone.

Anyhow, what's the best way to go about it? Asurion and pay the $50 or what? I was thinking about trying to flash a new rom onto it and unplugging the usb cable when it reached 50%. By doing that, I'm sure it wont load windows

lol, alright "giant idiot".

i personally avoid Asurion because id rather deal with Sprint. if you have the premium insurance and the phone is in more than 2 pieces, they will order you a replacement in the store. they generally order a refurbished model as a replacement, but due to the very recent release of the phone and the low availability of it, there a good chance of getting a new one as a replacement. i have gotten new ones a few times.

the $50 is a deductible that you have to pay when you go through Asurion. works the same way as car insurance.....they will fix the $XXXXX amount in damages but you need to pay whatever your deductible is.

btw....if you go through the Sprint store, there is no deductible
