I talked to 5 different reps. at Apple Care Center. 4 of 5 told me to cough up 220-250 dollars. 1 person told me it was covered by my warranty, that was the person I asked to send me the box. I told every person the same story. It was my fault (I dropped it) but, I wanted to know if it was covered by warranty.

happened to me, but you might search around here for details about what happened to my situation (which apple finally took care of yesterday!).

long story short, you will be paying for the repair as accidental damage is not covered (my quote was $275). i got lucky because some repair tech slipped the wrong repair bill thingy into my box and i called apple on their mistake.

It's gonna cost me 215.00 to repair! I don't expect them to repair it for free. But I can't believe that they have to charge 215.00 for a piece of optical glass. This is the first phone I have ever dropped. Couldn't come at a worse time. Not asking for pity but I was layed off from work last night and I dropped it in the parking lot on my last night.Thanks to the posters who tried to help and offered me advice.
