Cracks on my iPhone

[schartzr]

Well I am glad that they replaced your phone. I just noticed on Friday that mine had a crack developing by the silence switch. I call in (as the closest apple store is 3 hours away for me) and they said that they didn't think it would be covered. But I told the guy on the phone that there are posts everywhere (not only on their forum but others as well) and he said he would check came back and said that it would be covered. So I am hoping that they will replace it. Now I just have to take of my invisible shield.

Good to hear! Apple really does have great customer service. At least in my experiences. Hopefully this one works out better for you!

I just blogged about that as well. That is just crazy. People need lives! I have yet to hear of a case where Apple told people tough luck if they had some sort of crack. And more than likely abuse was the cause!

cracks are probably ATT's fault.

I have a crack or two. It was certainly *not* abuse. However, I have not heard of anyone's iPhone actually falling apart from cracks, or even having anything more than tiny hairlines that are barely noticeable. If it gets worse I will replace it. If not, it's nothing I can't live with.

Mine is cracked near the headphone jack and the less noticeable "spider cracks" near the ringer switch which are not my fault, but the hassle of replacing it and syncing all my music over isn't worth it. And with my Slider Case it's really that noticeable. There definitely is some issue with cracking due to material, stress, something, and I'm sure Apple has recognized it and will replace it.

I have yet to know anyone - myself included - that has this crack issue. I still feel that *most of the cases are from abuse. Not all but most. And yes, Apple will replace it with no issues from what I understand. Unless it's obvious you did the damage.

Well I can tell you my crack was not my Doing. I BABY my iPhone and i sware it seemed like one day wham there it was. It has gotten much colder here lately not sure if that played a part with it. Maybe the housing shrinking a little? Not sure.

No worries what so ever. It was in the iPhone Help forum for some reason so I just moved it back here and reopened the poll.

While were on the subject here are my other two polls:

Do You Have Some Crack? =/ - Mac Forums

Do You Have Some Crack? =/ - iPhone 3G | iPod touch Forums

cracks! yep. I see several of them.

 

[IndyJonez]

Is this poll open for multiple votes so that if you have develped cracks in a short time after the poll had opened you can go back and re-vote that you have "cracks"?

Ya know?

You should be fine. I have not heard of any new phone cracking, recently...
