Here's my scratch . Sorry about the image quality! You might have to squint a bit to see it but I can assure you it's more noticable in person!

Hard to tell from that picture.. to me it looks like a bubble in a screen protector...

No cracks in my 16GB white, previous one didn't have any cracks either.

I went to the Apple store to see a genius, basically since it is not a 'known' issue and is just cosmetic, they can't replace it because nothing is malfunctioning. I hope Apple realizes that this is a problem soon.

Yeah, every once in a while you'll get a turd that doesn't want to help. They are replacing them in Apple stores, I've read people are getting replacements.

You should've asked him if the cracking palm rests in Macbooks was just "cosmetic" as well..

Might want to call Apple tech instead.. though if the rumour is true about Apple sending out notices to Apple stores to not provide replacements for "cosmetic" issues.. might be SOL until it spreads across the web a bit more and people make a stink about it. Maybe that memo was a pre-emptive strike, knowing that this was going to be a problem.

Ugh. Why can't they just get their s*** together and get a better grip on QC for once.

Huh.. just gotta wait it out then I guess.

Apple does it again........ lets see these things made in Canada!! Sure, they'd be 10x the price, but I don't care!!

I just want to boycott China completely.... seriously. I wish they'd stop making all the cool stuff there.. makes it hard to avoid.

I wished we lived in some crazy world where the store could just replace the defective back plate with a new one and I could be on my way.

Dude, way too logical.

Seems to be cracking in the same places.
So far mine hasn't cracked.

From the recalled toys with lead paint in em...

It has nothing to do with the weather. It's a defect in the plastic.
