I absolutely am NOT a fan of Metro PCS, but I could not help but notice that the lady was complaining that metro would not honor the 30 day no questions asked warranty. Uh mam, your 30 days were up on February 3rd, near5ly two weeks ago. What part of 30 days do you not understand ?

 I dissagree with the agent and request that as a consumer I be treated fairly

- You can disagree all you want with the agent, but from what you described it is not only possible but probable that you caused the damage.

The "blotting" is caused by the LCD crystals breaking.  If you press too hard or sit on it these can break with NO evidence of any external damage.  So having a case and scratch resistant shieldd has no protection for this situation.

Now, in daily use the phone mfg has a decent thickness of the glass(screen) that would minimize the chances.  But some cheaper phones skimp on this making the chance of this damage more likely.   You may want to take it up with the manufacturer, but most likely they will call it abuse as well and deny any claims.

It sounds like you are describing something like this:

...and if so, then they are right. You broke it.
