Owners Reports Cracks in iPhone 3G Cases
Unlike the original iPhone, which features a metal back, the back of the new 3G iPhone is either ceramic or plastic. (Apple has not disclosed what it is made of; many people have speculated that it is plastic, while others believe it’s a stronger type of ceramic material.) Whatever the case is made of, it’s apparently prone to damage. Some iPhone 3G owners are noticing cracks appearing in the cases of their phones–which are less than a month old.
The iPhone 3G is available in white and black; most of the reports of cracking are from owners of white phones. Some users have noted cracks in black phones, though, leading some to speculate that the cracks are simply harder to see in the black plastic. The cracks range from very small, hairline fractures on the sides and tops of the phones to more noticeable splits along the back.
Posters on Apple’s support forums have indicated that the company is replacing damaged phones. Check your phone carefully–and handle it the same way.
