I have yet to see one of these in person... more than likely it was a bad batch somewhere along the line.

I should have asked if he knew what was causing the issue.
It could be any number of things with the first batch. Maybe a crate was left in certain conditions that made the plastic vulnerable to the stress cracks.


Poor woman next to me drove an hour, took half the day off work, and put her kids in daycare because her battery was dying too rapidly. He told her to restore when she got home to see if that resolved the issue. The two different people she talked before coming couldn't have suggested that?!

He offered but she didn't have her contacts, calendars, and other things backed up.

Ok, well that's just dumb.

Never go in for repairs of service for any reason without first backing up your content. This applies to both iPhones and their computers. Don't want to have your HDD wiped cause your home button or f key need replacing

I have a friend whose Iphone 3G cracked at the corner. She always keeps it in a case. Apple gave her a new one and told her this has been an issue with the new 3G phones. She asked why they did not keep the original silver casing but they told her it was a 3G issue with over heating.

Have any of you experienced cracking with your 3G phones on the back plastic shell? I just got mine last week and have it in a hard case to protect it. Hope to avoid the CRACKs.

I have got a white back 16gb 3g. I have a crack at the base coming from the dock connector. I am thinking that maybe I am being too rough when I dock/undock on my universal dock sitting on my desk. Reading this thread, maybe next time I am by the apple store I will see if they will swap out.

Mine is always in a case when not in my hands or docked.

Thanks - mark
