White Iphones are classic and chic. The black ones are ugly as fuck.
Get the white,

Yes this is happening to me as well. I developed 2 cracks on my white 16gb near the headphone jack. I went to my local apple store and they exchanged it for a new one no problems. I observed the casing for at least a couple times a day. Then after about a week, I had the phone in a case and never dropped it. I then noticed this new phone now has a crack near the speaker. I bought an iphone 3g because is the best phone out on the market as far as software capabilities and endless apps. I am disappointed because this is a pain in the ass to keep exchanging phones. Apple should of kept the chrome back like the old iphone.

Im so not impressed with apple, I bought an iphone 3G 16Gb in white yesterday, the first one I bought had scratches on the chrome straight out the box, the next one has a hair line crack in the top corner of the phone, now im going to have to go replace it again, this really is becoming a pain

I had my Iphone Black 16G for about a week when I read this post. Took a closer look at my phone. Had a crack right under the headphone jack. (If you have you hold your iphone glass-down, it is the piece of plastic btw the bottom of the headphone jack and the silver trim, TINY crack).

I called Apple and they set up an appointment and I got the phone replaced. The phone they gave me was new, sealed, in the box. I take a look at it, it had 2 CRACKS! It looked like parentheses around the headphone jack. Had to make another appointment with the Genius bar to get another phone at a different store.
The guy at the Florida Mall was a total ass and tried to tell me that defects like that are acceptable and that they technically didn’t have to replace it, when the rep i spoke to on the phone said they would replace it no problem. Anyway, long story short, I got 2 phones in a row with cracks, but apple still replaced it for a new one – no cracks.

Now come on.. I know what this is REALLY all about:

Apple is just trying to do some search engine optimization to reduce the “cracking iphone” search hits that lead to jailbreaking guides.

The next thing they’re going to do is launch a hugely popular iPhone game based on the TV series “Prison Break” ..titled “iPhone Jailbrake” of course.

My iPhone developed a crease which is turning into a crack within the first 3 days.

This is being reported on the black models as well, just it’s harder to see a crack on those as it is on the white models
