I thought about the same issue at the amusement park the other day. I was riding the roller coaster and it slammed me against the side and sandwiched my iphone between me and the side, but nothing happened. I also accidentally ran it over with my Corvette previously (long story but I think the wide tires dispersed the weight of the car). Sounds like I should be glad I stuck with my old iPhone and didn't get a 3G iPhone when they came out.

i got my black iphone 3g 8gb on the first day. and ive never dropped and its cracking on the sides by the home button so u can see the light inside the phone glowing.

If this happens to mine I will s***. I am really not happy at all with the 3g, which is the reason I still haven't sold my first gen. Terrible service, slow 3g(this is probably ATT's fault), shoddy gps, phone seems to lag...a lot, and now the cases are cracking. At the rate we're going, the next "feature" will be that they catch fire randomly.

ya because the old one had antennas only at the bottom, hence only the bottom had to be plastic, since the 3g radio and gps thing were at the top it was either the whole thing be plastic or just a lil at the top and a lil at the 'd bottom(that would be g'd up though)
anyways, i havent had cracking but my dang silent button fell off the second day i had it, i thought about sending it back but i wanted one soon so i figured id wait a lil bit till they were easly and widely available

Mine has no issues at all... I've loved it from the start.

[kokowawa]

the new 3g is not better in signal strength, in fact it is worth comparing to the 1st generation iPhone, also the phone response sucks

[D-TweezyBaby]

The day I noticed the crack next to the vibrate switch was the same day there was a post about it on another web site. It's not a bad crack buh I mean I take care of my stuff and for it to happen jus because make me a lil mad

[Bernie-Mac]

so far so good but if my iPhone, something I spent $300 on, just cracks by itself I am going straight to apple and demand a replacement cuz that sh*t is unnacceptable

[se7endreams]

damn, that sucks. glad i kept my 1st gen.

[Cherrysoda_zx]

I'm damn glad i still have my 1st gen around, I have the white one and I haven't sustained any cracks so far... I might just switch the sims out...

[TJacks19]

I haven't had mine in a case since the day it came out and I've got no cracks

[chapelfreak]

I have no cracks so far. It's fallen out of my shirt pocket plenty of times. Yesterday my gf took my phone away because i was doing something on it. She put it on her lap, when we went to leave she forgot about it and it fell on hard tile. I'm glad it didn't crack!!! Oh yeah, i forgot to put on the case also.
