White 3G iPhones cracking like eggs?

With the iPhone 3G being all the rage at the moment you would think that their is not much wrong with them. But, some iPhone 3G customers have been reporting that their white backed iPhone’s are cracking!
It seems that the black version is not affected, but due to the minuscule size of the cracks it’s quite possible that they’re just harder to spot against a black background. As for the white ones, things seem to be getting quite ugly, as more and more owners are joining forum discussions to moan about the scars on their phones.
The odd thing is that these cracks seem to be appearing all over the place, and not on certain parts of the plastic cover. Obviously they’re more likely to appear near the edges, but judging from the pictures posted at forums.macrumors.com, they’re likely to pop up anywhere.
In case you’ve got a 3G iPhone, black or white, it’s probably a good idea to inspect it for cracks immediately. In case you find some Apple will probably replace your unit with a new one, as it’s unlikely you’ll get a refurbished one this soon after launch.
