I remember these bags. I worked fot AT&T for the launch of the iPhone. These bags were an inventory item (and the ones that the counts were always wrong on). It was an Apple thing. Also the rule is, if the plastic wrap on the iPhone was torn at all, there was a restocking fee (i think like 15%) so this bag was here to protect the employees. Once we sold an iPhone, we showed the box to the customer to let them verify that there were no tears in the plastic, then placed it in this bag. And at the top of the bag there was an adhesive seal that we would use to seal the bag. The customer would not be allowed to open the bag until they left the store. Also the customer signed a paper acknowledging the retun policy and restocking fee.
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”
