What about countries where the "thumbs up" is a rude or obscene gesture?

Go to the Apple Store nearest you and ask them about the repair. In SOME cases, they'll replace your screen (or the entire phone) for free.

Search "R2D2 beanie". I pulled this image from one of those results, can't find the precise one.
