Idk, why would anyone buy an iPhone and return it in seal?

Could be a number of different reasons maybe it was the wrong color or the wrong GB's or it even could be that Apple store had some from the original launch that they finally sold.

White 16gb
Week 37
Factory F2

2 very minor marks but with a crooked screen with the glass popping up a bit. Getting a replacement soon.
 
There seem to be several cases of the screen not being firmly attached and popping up. What a shame...

Yeah, the first white unit I had gotten as a swap for a black(with a small ding) had a loose part of the screen too. I tried to live with it but having 25% of your screen feel hallow is ridiculous when its suppose to be new.
 
Reserved a 32GB Black AT&T last night and picked up today

Week 40

Small ding on chamfer near the headphone jack on the front side :/

White 64GB
Week 42
Flawless except for small scratch on glass over white - right edge. Trying to decide if I'm going to return/exchange. Feels sturdy, great screen otherwise. After 3 charges battery seems to be doing good.
 
Got a week 43 black iP5 today - ordered during 10pm reservation last night.

Does mine the first week 43 in this thread?
