Mass RipOffs + ignorant customers = Mass Profits!]]>Sep 23rd 2007 1:44AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/20/iphone-replacement-lcd-available-proceed-with-caution/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/20/iphone-replacement-lcd-available-proceed-with-caution/
Apparently, if the iPhone falls directly on a lower corner with the glass face slightly pitched forward, the glass cracks easily on impact at its most fragile point between the button and the corner.

Having worked with glass as an artisan, glass will often do this with even slight pressure to a weak point. This is a design defect of the iPhone as the one physical button DID NOT HAVE TO BE PUT IN THE GLASS but could have been placed in the dead zone beneath the active area surrounded by plastic or Aluminum--they did these two materials on the case back.

This button-in-the-glass design is simply design vanity on Apples part and the glass should be replaced under warranty by Apple so that my son does not have to pay some outrageous $300 in repairs, especially as we paid the original, $200 plus premium price.]]>Oct 20th 2007 4:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/20/iphone-replacement-lcd-available-proceed-with-caution/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/20/iphone-replacement-lcd-available-proceed-with-caution/Oct 21st 2007 10:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/20/iphone-replacement-lcd-available-proceed-with-caution/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/20/iphone-replacement-lcd-available-proceed-with-caution/Oct 27th 2007 9:58PM
