Cellphone manufacturers have this clause in their warranty to only cover defects and from normal wear and tear. If you drop it, paint it, get it wet, crack it, smash it... etc. it would not be considered normal use, but abuse. Some phones have skins or covers that you can buy, and not void any warranty's. You should consider one of these on your future phone(s). Sorry about your phone, hope that helps clear anything up.
Reply:Because in their eyes, that nail polish could have easily slipped between the cracks and caused moisture damage to your phone. For instance, I have seen where people have removed the original faceplates off of their phone to put a stylish one on. In this case, a lot of times you have to remove a screw. One you do that, warranty is voided.





That normally falls under user damage.





Sorry.
Reply:Most warranties will become voided by almost any modification, even if it is just cosmetic.
