"Damage" would simply mean anything beyond repair per the carrier, hinders device operation, and is not caused by a manufactures defect. Your door for instance is replaceable (i.e. I know verizon sells doors on there site and also orders doors as sprint stores should have some supplies at there locations) so TEC would be a bad idea as your paying a deductible for something thats replaceable (think retail for the door is 15 dollars and many carriers replace it for free anyways).

Would agree with Bundo on this one though everything gets dings..I would say just try to purchase a case if you dont already have one and if it doesnt really hinder the use of the device then its really no true point to it besides just making your device look like its better taken care of..which I personally wouldnt care.
