Just got a replacement Iphone 3G (white) today from Apple, had it since when it came out. But I just noticed the replacement also has numerous mini cracks on it. Any suggestions? Should I go back and ask for ANOTHER replacement?
Got a tip for us?

i honestly don't think you'll ever get one without those hairline cracks. if it doesn't have it at the beginning, it'll develop it over time. i went through a couple of iphones.. there was one with a hairline crack on the screen and one near the sim card slot.. went to get that one replaced, got one with hairline cracks all around the casing. had to replace that one, and got another one with a couple of hairline cracks on the casing. the geniuses eventually told me it was normal and showed me a couple of examples. sometimes you never know.. you could get one that's worse. but if it bugs you, definitely go replace it.
Can I ask for a refund even though its been like over 6 months since I got the first one? Has anyone tried?
They're going to laugh in your face. Seriously. Not only are you way over the return period, but there's no way AT&T is going to say "oh sorry, here's your money back for the last 6 months of service that you used"
Where are all these cracks people are complaining about, I've had the iphone for like 3 months, I also check for cracks but never seem to find them.
they're more easily seen in the white iPhone 3G, but the most common places are hairline cracks around the headphone port and near the corners and edges of the back of the phone.
Why would you want a refund. Just take the replacement phone and sell it on ebay for much more than you paid for it, you could sell the 16gb for 600.
