my white iphone is cracked around the mute button. the one before this new one did the same thing. O2 replaced it for me as was within the 28 day purchase period, but annoying that the new phone has done the same thing. i’ve not dropped it or anything. arrghhh.

Sorry I forgot to add that I rarely use my iPhone cause I have another phone and I keep my iPhone in a pouch. So i don’t understand why this cracking even happen to my iPhone sad so sad.

I just bought my 32g white iPhone for only 3 months and I’m already getting hair line crack near the speakers and at the nails screw is at. This really hurts I hate going in to apple and get another cause it doesn’t always come out good my iPhone work really good I have no problem with it but what if I go exchange for another one and that one doesn’t work well. What a disappointment. Apple need to start finding a way to fix this problem like figuring out how to replace our accessories if this kind of problem happen.

my white 3GS has been in a clear hard case since day one and i still have a crack above the mute button. my screen cracked too while in the case! i have an appointment today for the screen issue, but i am definitely going to mention the crack near the mute button. seems like i’ll have better luck getting a replacement that way since this is such a common issue it seems. thanks everyone for all of the info.

I’ve had my white iPhone 3G s for about a week, and I’ve noticed that there is hairline cracks appearing on the docking area. I think this is due to talking on the phone while the charger is plugged it, and constant tugging of the wire while plugged in causes the minor hairline cracks. I’m pretty sure AT&T can’t do anything about it because it’s a cosmetic issue. So I think what I’m about to do is just wait out until it cracks completely, but until then, I will be baby-ingy iPhone to the fullest. I’ll probably consider getting the invisible shield along with the clear hardcase.

My first black 8GB was showing hair-line cracks just after 3 months (never dropped), then I got it changed. I had bought mine under contract from Singapore local telco provider. The second unit again had hair-line cracks appearing now in more places then compared to the first unit. I so bringing back the unit for replacement. Did a rain check with Apple customer care hotline, and the service guy said it was a recognised fault which they will change. So, enough said… just bring in for a new unit. Just that I’m currently out of country at this point in time…
