I've dropped mine a few times, but not on a hard surface thank f**k!
Stupid advice is not required.
Ebay replacements I've seen aren't to bad really

Just buy a new rear cover from eBay. £30 ish.
2 mins to fit.

It's made from glass because it makes for the most responsive touchscreen, As for the back, it makes the look of the phone alot nicer, beats having a chunk of plastic and is resistant to scratches, i remember always having to replace cases on my old phones due to scratches on the screen.
As Chris said, get an eBay kit and do it yourself, its a 2 minute job to unscrew the two bottom screws, replace it and screw them back up!
This is Danny. I wouldn't trust him to put a parker pen together.

£139, and it's a replacement phone.
If you sweet talk them, and it's within warranty, you might get it for free.

Used these guys a few times;

They have 2 levels of parts - Genuine and not.
Its very easy to replace - as said before, 2 screws at the bottom and slide the back up to unclip it and just lift it off.

£139 for a whole replacement, however, if it's just the rear panel, it's only £25. Sweet-talking wont get you anything for free anymore if it's accidental damage. I would strongly recommend not replacing the rear panel with an eBay prt, this will void your warranty and we can tell if it's a genuine part or not.
Really?! - My phone is faulty atm anyway and being a b*****d so it needs an applecare swap out but im not inclined to come and pay £25 a new back only to have it swapped anyway.
Some of the ebay ones for £25 are supposedly genuine.
I've kept my original, smashed back, which is case of any warranty issue I'll simply stick back on, sorted
How you can tell if a phone has been opened or not? I understand if your a spastic and round off the screws, but if not and orignal cover is replaced, nobody will know, I got a 3gs, and 4 repaired after swaping back case, and just sticking original back on for warranty.

^This.
Apple use 5 spoke "pentalobe" screws on later iPhone 4's & 4S's to prevent tampering, this was all good until people started making the screwdrivers for them. If there is evidence of tampering, the Genius will refuse service, and make notes on the database they use so whenever the serial number is entered at any later date, it will flag up saying not to repair the handset. Kind of like blacklisting a phone.
Ive seen it many times, there's a few tell-tale signs of non-Apple parts, and when a phone has been opened up. If you know what to look for, then it's pretty obvious.

I've dropped and smashed my rear (ooh er!!) twice and both times I've got a replacement back case from eBay. Paid £7 and that includes the small screwdriver for the 2 screws. Mines a perfect fit and looks identical to the original. I've also got a scratch on the front but after looking at this thread I'm not paying that much to have it replaced
