no cracks here, black version.

Can't get one, black OR white. The only crack here is in the Apple supply chain.

No iPhone, but I have a crack.

Washington, D.C. has plenty of crack.

I have a white iPhone that is only a week old. So far no cracks, dents, blemishes, or other unwanted features. Will post pictures if any develop - unless they are caused by pilot error.

Peace.

I have the white and no cracks so far.

It's the "Cube" all over again...

So what, RIM has had CRACK-berries for some time now.

I'd make a crack, but the best ones are already taken.

White iPhone 3G here.

Too scared to look.

Ignorance is bliss.

@Moo:

Nice crack! But, I'm sure you get that all the time.

So, does it just go to show that whites are really crackers, or what?

i'm all cracked up over this
what's white and looks like crack

How's the craic? (Irish).

Some of these could be due to idiots cracking the case taking their iPhones apart. One shot shows the chrome covering has been removed from the side buttons. I've had my white iPhone for three weeks now with no case or protection and it has no cracks. I know that if I drop it on concrete like I did with my first iPhone, it won't stand up as well. I'm being very careful.

@ Your Mom...

huh?

Have a 16GB white and no cracks what so ever!

I'm white and have a crack. I'm heading to the Apple Store to have myself replaced.

You folks who claim to have the white iPhone, are y'all chicks? Cause that shit is mad feminine.

Aluminum back iPhone, no cracks! Do have one dent on the top left corner though...

The first launch day 16GB black iPhone 3G that I was given at the Rogers store I was first in line at had a hairline crack from the headphone jack down towards the back about 4mm long (1/5 of an inch). I noticed it before completing my transaction and asked them to get me another one, which they did. My replacement, and my wife's white unit seem to be free of cracks.

I have a white phone, but its covered in a tight black case, which I cant seem to remove to check for cracks.

Perhaps when I figure out how to remove the case, I will let you guys know.

White iPhone here ----> No Cracks

Jul 30, 08 - 11:45 am Comment from: Anonymous©

white, no cracker

Ahhh, so it's OK to accuse whites of having crack?
Man, this PC thing is getting out of hand.

White 3G, no cracks yet.
Take that ATF!

I am with Randian

On a waiting list in Cancun Mexico

but loving 2.0 on my old iPhone (soon to be the wife's)

crack is whack

@Jack

I like to see you get an 8GB white...

@John Gee "huh?"

He's referring to the Mac Cube, which in some cases developed cracks in it's corners

... fewer on black models ...

um, wouldn't a hairline crack be more difficult to see on a black surface than a white one? it's probably the same percentage on both ...

my friend used to snort crack. Does that count? He's white.

Kinda of a side note, but for those with 3G's: How have they held up to scratching/scuffing? Everyone was concerned about this when it was announced, but I have not heard anything since the release.

I've got a white one and it has a few small cracks around the headphone port. Never opened the case, never dropped it, and I've always been careful with it. I'll get it replaced once the rush is over with.

I guess there'll be plenty of refurbished 16gb iPhones soon.

It's not a fault ... it's an "antiquing feature" designed to result in a lovely crackle finish over time. Classy!

Apple successfully invents the new Crack-berry.

I have a white one and there are no cracks on it.

Of couse I have not dropped it, which the pictures of the cracks in this article all look to have been caused by.

16Gb black iPhone-it's in a form fitting neoprene case, so there is no way I am prying or cutting the thing off to look for cracks.

...MDN boardroom this morning: "Let's see how we can put the words 'white', 'hair', and 'crack' into one sentence and still get away with it!"

No cracks on my Cube!

Wait, what were we talking about again?

Damn Maui-Afghani cross.

"The Great Apple Fanboy Massacre"
I see you have no problems appointing yourself with greatness... you seem to be lacking on proof of greatness though. No post I have ever seen from you shows greatness... unless you provide some way of validating your greatness, I suggest you just change your name. May I suggest: "Some PC Loser that lives in his mothers basement" That is much more believable from what I have read from you.

The Dude abides.

I have a new white 3g iPhone and after reading the above, I checked my phone out and found cracks!

MobileMe oh my...now cracks!

I have a white one and i have a couple small cracks. I noticed them after just a day or two of having the phone.

"black don't crack."

I have the black one and have had to return two of them because of cracks near the headphone jack. I love my iphone 3g, but this sucks.

@ ChrisM

Have a black 3G bought Day One. No scratches or scuffs despite a 3 foot fall to the terrazzo tile floor of Washington National Airport. The black does have a tendency to show fingerprints which my wife's white 3G does not.

I'm seeing a lot of wisecracks.
