so like an idiot, dropped my phone and the screen cracked.

but, everything else works in terms of the touch gestures and no damage to the LCD screen.

i don't believe i bought insurance (like an idiot), but its still been under 30 days since i bought it.

any chance AT&T can help me? if not what about samsung?

i want to make this as cheap as possible, i found a glass replacement online for like 20$. like i said the screen is fine and the touch features still work.

thoughts? (im about the cry, im a grown man also, or so i think)
