Yep. Fell off of the elliptical and hit just right to crack the screen even though I had a tempered glass protector on it and a hard rubber/plastic case. I'm proud of myself though... I didn't even swear out loud.

I plan on keeping this phone for another year or so unless some killer trade in deals surface, so I took it to the Apple store for repair which they quoted at $140.

Went back this morning to pick it up and they said they couldn't repair it because it failed some electronic tests. But good news, I can pay the $140 and get a brand new iPhone 7 with the same specs (128 GB). This is especially good since I think I might have needed a battery replacement pretty soon as the old one was getting a little flaky. Surprising how fast this new one charges and the charge lasts much longer. I put a better quality tempered glass on it and it looks great.

That's a heck of a deal getting a brand new phone instead of just a replacement screen.

What brand is the new tempered glass and what brand is the old tempered glass?

I was impressed with the Apple Store when I brought my 6 month old MacBook Pro in after a self-inflected injury. It fell off the table onto ceramic tile floor, and the screen cracked on the opposite side from the physical case damage. They covered it under warranty since it didn't crack near the physical case damage which saved me about $500. Once they replaced the screen, another part didn't pass their testing so they replaced that too for free.

I don't know what the old protector was, but I got it from Amazon as I recall. A two pack for around $12 - $15. The new one I put on is a Tech21 Evo Glass. About $40 which the T-Mobile guy put on for me and comes with lifetime warranty whatever that means. It's much clearer (looks just like the naked screen) than the cheap-o one I had on before.
