My apologies. I do not have an HTC One and the title stated it was glass so that's what I made my comparison in regards to. If anyone else as this issue let us know Smiley Happy If you want to fix it yourself you could sand down and buffer the HTC One X's lens so its the same thickness. Or pay for them to fix it, either way. Good luck

No big deal.  I thought it was glass too until the crack started to spread and it became obvious that it's a thin piece of brittle plastic.  I may just leave it alone, though I did order the HTC One X lens cover ($12 shipped - why not?)  so I may replace it myself.  That will void the warranty, but the warranty appears to be pretty useless anyway.

I've had my One for a few months and dropped it several times. Luckily I've not broken the lens cover. If I did drop it and the lens cover or the screen broke I wouldn't expect it to be covered by any warranty. Insurance can be purchased to cover things like drops and water damage but I've never heard of negligence being covered by the manufacturer warranty.

So I guess drops and water damage, things you claim are covered by insurance, aren't the result of negligence?  You sure about that?

The insurance deductible to have the lens cover fixed is $99.  Hardly worth it.
