    Exclamation iPhone 3G[s] power button hardly sticks out/hard to push down ?

    anyone notice this? on my 2g the power button sticks up above the phone quite a bit. although on my 3g[s] it hardly sticks out above the case and is somewhat hard to push down.

    are others like this or is mine defected?

    Hi my 3G Power button used to stick out but now today it has depressed into the case slightly so it is now level to the edge of the case! It still works however. Have you sorted this problem out? I am in the UK and it still has 1 month left of warranty so was thinking of taking it to the Apple shop to see if they can change the phone! I will however have to take off the the Jailbreak! :-0

    restore it, and bring it to apple,

    Might as well get a brand new phone right before your warranty is up.

    bring it to apple, compare it to a 3gs they have on display. if yours feels different, point it out to one of the genius's, they'll most likely replace it on the spot.

    I hope they do replace it as it is a 16GB 3G and they do not seem to sell that model on the site no more and i want to keep the phone until the brand new iPhone eventually comes out unless they give me a 3Gs 16gb for free or for cheap! ;-)

    they'll have it in their inventory. They have to carry all devices for at least a year, for warranty purposes.
