I use a thin black incipio case, and that has a crack it where the headphone jack is, but i think that it's from me constantly removing my phone out of the case. So no problems yet! <em>knock on wood</em></p> I’ve had my White iPhone 3gs for a little over a month now, i only have micro scratches on the bezel around the screen.

I just purchased a 3Gs in white on December 19th. I've noticed that there are what appear to be white stress-cracks around the bottom of the phone near the speaker piece. I have dropped my phone from short distances during the short time I've owned it (accidentally), though I have the "heavy-duty" Speck case that has gel padding on the inside for shock absorbing protection. I attribute this case to the reason as to why my phone hasn't shattered, especially when I dropped it about three feet above my hardwood floor. </p> <p>I also had the 3G in Black for 8 months and used various cases on and off again. I also noticed similar stress cracks on that phone around the earphone jack, etc. They appear like scratches, only when examined in certain lighting, they're cracks. I think Apple has a great product, butthey need to make the plastic more durable. </p> <p>Your thought?</p> Yes. I just purchased a 3Gs in white on December 19th.

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.</p> 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.

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.</p> 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.
