The free bumper program just ended and already we have word of another flaw in the design of the iPhone 4. This flaw concerns the back which is made of glass, according to
Ryan Block of gdgt.com. Block citing Apple engineers, says that non-bumper type cases, ie slip over cases, are scratching the glass on the back of the iPhone 4. These scratches, caused by dirt and debris getting caught between the case and the glass, can lead to cracking of the glass.
Apple has gone as far as pulling all slip over cases from the Apple stores. Most of these are third-party cases that pay Apple 10-15% to have the "Made for iPhone" badge. Needless to say these companies are not happy. Users can still buy the cases, just not through the Apple stores.
This may help explain the rumor that the next generation iPhone will be a completely different form factor and not have a glass back. [
