LRVassar, sorry. Physical damage isn't covered under the manufacturer warranty. However, did you subscribe to Total Equipment Coverage? http://vz.to/Prh6pa

No, a cracked screen on a phone is not covered by warranty any more than a cracked windshield is covered by your automobile's warranty.

A cracked screen is not a manufacturer's defect which is what is covered by the 1-year warranty.  If you had insurance on your phone ($10 a month), you could have paid $99 to have if repaired.

You can virtually buy a used 4s on eBay for the cost of replacing the screen alone.

Apple didn't break your screen.
