White iphone back case cracking

hi there i just noticed on the back from the camera down there is like a stress crack all the way down the back of my phone. and on the sides by the volume button i have never dropped it and keep it in a case all the time i just was cleaning it and noticed all the cracks. has anybody noticed this it is just 4mo old what can i do about this? can this be fixed.

I noticed the cracks in my iphone before I searched online to see that it was happening to many folks. I called Apple they said I could take it to a Genius bar, 3 hours for me. I was disappointed to see the plastic back with the new Iphone to start with and now wow! I love the rumor that says the new one will be anodized aluminum. I doubt this is the case since they go cheaper and lighter but maybe they will strengthen this product. It seems that the warranty repair $299 for the 16gb is one way to go or you can buy the parts destroy what pitiful warranty there is and if you are lucky get the thing back together. I am planning to give mine to my daughter and get another in June or July when the update comes out. At this point, I may go with a blackberry bold, say it isn't so.

I broke my Iphone back case, and no service center in Indonesia

Dear Apple Communities,
I'm from Indonesia
recently I just broke my Iphone 4 32Gb White Back Case
dropped it accidentally
just the back case, fortunately no other part broken
and no authorized service center in Indonesia
so I couldn't find any genuine spare parts
I'm looking for the genuine back case, I can open the iphone back case myself thou
but my question is, is it sold separately?
since I have relative either from Singapore or Australia
anyway to tell them to sold it separately for me?
I mean like a code or official email from Apple itself
so I have the proof, and can tell the authorized Apple store to sell it to my relative
and they can bring it back when they visit me in Indonesia
please help me, thx
Why I'm looking for genuine apple parts?
since the non-original one is making my camera blur all the time
the surface also not the same
and the white color is slightly different
and I dont like it
in short- the original one is the best
so I need to get the original one desperately
here's the condition
miraculously the lens is okay no single scratch
I'm only looking for the back case replacement, once again help me thx
sorry for bad grammar

sir, I know that XL and Telkomsel is the two authorized carriers
mine is XL, they cannot fix my only back case
the only deal they will help is only network connectivity
Telkomsel also cannot
in short neither one of them can provide me with genuine back case
I've checked to the two of them
I even went to the PT.Sinar Eka Selaras service center > Authorized distributor in Indonesia
http://www.ptses.com/
since this item is genuine from them
and all they can provide me is : Replace whole iphone = buy the new one
and as I told you there is really NO authorized service center in Indonesia
you broke your phone a bit, buy a new one
and I need only the back case
that's why I'm asking whether apple service center in Australia or Singapore can sell it separately
hope you understand now
If one of the authorized carriage can help me, or the distributor can
why should I seek help here?
here's the deal that this is genuine 100% bought from authorized dealer in Indonesia
Imporir Name: PT. SINAR EKA SELARAS
Address: Jl. Pakin Blok C Kav. No. 12, Komplek Mitra Bahari Kel. Penjaringan, Kec. Penjaringan Jakarta Utara

White macbook: upper case cracked at edges. Is replacement possible?

My Macbook has cracked casing edges at the front and sides. There is also some cracking at the top edges of the screen that I'm less worried about as it is not leaving anything exposed. It's well out of warranty with no Applecare, but I read on a US site (I'm in the UK) that Apple considered this a manufacturing defect and were offering a free replacement. I never received any notification of such a program. Can anyone clarify whether this was indeed the case, and if it was a time limited offer. If not, what are my options?
Thanks

Hi Fatjim,
It's been over a year since your post, so I hope you receive this query.
My daughter's white plastic MacBook -- about the same vintage as yours or a bit newer: Aug 2009 -- developed those well-known top case cracks about 2-1/2 years ago, within the 1-year warranty (I didn't even know about defects covered beyond that point). Was directed to a very good, nice, decent Apple support and repair store in NYC (which is a miracle, believe me!!!). No computer sales, just support. Very specialized and very personal. Completely different from other "authorized Apple" support stores in NYC. They replaced that one top piece quickly and for free. But perhaps a year later the top plate started developing new chips all over the place. I e-mailed Manny -- a terrific guy -- the person there who'd helped me before with both her Mac and mine, to ask about it, but got no reply. Maybe he missed it. E-mail is fallible. With a high schooler who "depends" on her Mac (social stuff as well), getting it out of her hands for any length of time is not easy, so I didn't pursue it further.
Now, it's 3-1/2 years old, but still functions perfectly well for all her needs and seems likely to for at least another year or more. (I know my MacBook Pro of the same vintage shows no sign of becoming "old" in any ways whatsoever.) But now her cracks, as with some other in this discussion, have extended further, and the entire frame around the screen -- directly around the screen and the entire top frame that holds the screen -- have cracks and breaks that really worry me functionally. (I have to press it down in the back after she closes it to get the top shell and bezel that hold the screen to snap back together at one, point, but there are holes, and yet new cracks forming!) I'm finally getting the courage to upgrade her machine from the Leopard OS it came with to the Snow Leopard disk that arrived with it, which I should have done immediately, but fear it will be for a machine that can't hold together. STILL...it does seem like a true manufacturing defect in all places. She's really a very careful kid.
Here in friendly NYC you'd be hard pressed to find any store that says "Apple" on it to actually do what they're supposed to do -- it's time spent on paperwork they could spend on something more profitable. Except, I hope, the one I used before, who has all our information, but has not seen me since 2010 or 2011.
My wife works for a well-heeled school that replaces all their harware every two years whether it needs it or not. To them, 2 years = out of date. But she gets her stuff for free. My daughter and I do not, and we really cannot afford to just replace the machine -- especially if it's working just fine, even with all the cracks and holes. (The economic recovery has not reached us, big surprise.)
YOUR success story caught my attention for this very reason, as did someone else's, here in the US, who mentioned a five-year period for cracked plastic on these things. So I want to clarify what you or anyone else has done.
You say you contacted Applecare. Is that right? What/who exactly is that? Who/what number do you call or what web site do you go to to find folks there who are truly helpful?
Do you need a special Applecare contract that we would have had to buy at the time the Mac was bought?
It really sounds like calling someone at the right # at Apple (esp. with their current Congressional tax problems!) might give me a "number" of some sort that I could just bring to Manny, or whoever is there, when my kid goes to camp and say: "Here, they said to replace all this crappy plastic. Apple will pay."
Any advice or solid info from anyone would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry this was so lengthy -- putting it off so long just made it grow and grow.

Macbook White 13'' Top case cracks

Hi.
I am using Macbook White 13'', late 2009 model, it has got two cracks on the top case (behind the display) on the right and left side, that seems to be a manufacturing problem because I have seen the same cracks on my friends laptop.
Can anyone tell me if there is any replacement program for the case.
Thanks
SAJID

There is currently a MacBook Bottom Case Replacement Program but none for the top case.
Best of luck.

White iphone 5 is shown as black on itunes

My iPhone 5 having white color is shown as black iphone 5 on iTune. WHY..?

This means your logic board was made for a black iPhone 5, and was switched into a white iPhone 5 case, and you were given the white iPhone 5 box too. It will not affect the function of the iPhone in any way.

So i have a white iphone and cracked the screen back in July. They had no more white screens in stock so they put on a black screen. would that by any chance avoid the warrenty

Who put a screen on it?
I would say the warranty is void.

Are coloured Iphone 4 back cases and Lcd Digitizer screens as good as Apples Original black/white ones ?

I have recently damaged my front screen on my iphone 4 and have been looking into a replacement, i have found several sites which sell coloured iphone 4 lcd and digitizer screens and back cases..My question is will the lcd be of the same standard as the original apple black/white ones...I have asked a tech guy who hasn't fully tested them yet so am wondering if anyone knows what the pixel quality is like when playing videos etc...I am very keen on having a yellow iphone but not at the expense of the screen quality ... any feedbk is welcome

Yea thats what im unsure of ..the parts are available on amazon.com for roughly £50 for a yellow back case and yellow front lcd and digitizer screen giving you a full yellow iphone 4 ...just a ? over the quality of the screen when playing videos etc compared to apples original ones..i think i will just have to bite the bullet and try one to see if it is as good ..if not then i guess im £50 down lol ...thanks for all your feedback tho

If i want to replace the back case for an iphone 3g and i provide the back case, will Apple do the actual replacement for me?

The black back case on my iphone 3g is cracked. i would like to replace the back case with a new white one. I saw the video on how to do the replacement on youtube and found it complicated. if i take the new back case and the phone to Apple, will the replace the broken back case for me?

Regarding the iPhone 3G, the only repair that Apple Genius does on that device is the Front Screen Replacement. So they could help you get the front assembly back on when you are done with the repair. To give you a better idea, the Genius do not even replace the battery on the iPhone 3G. Apple will not help you with this repair.

Crackly white iPhone 4S, help?

Hi, I have had a White iPhone 4S, for just over 6months now and so far no problems. It is in immaculate condition, but all of the sudden when I make/receive calls, the end of the line is very crackly - to the point in which people can't understand me, but I hear them clearly. How do I resolve this, if possible?

"had same problem. just figured it out. go to settings then Icloud then turn calendar on and go back and check it out now u should have the + sign back"
Worked perfect, thanks

Case Cracks on white MacBooks

Hi all,
Can anyone out there tell me if the early 2008 (the latest white 2.4GHz MacBooks) have been subject to the case cracks as the earlier whites were?
Are there any other problems that seem specific to the newer white models?
Thanks for any comments on this subject they are appreciated.
PB

I took mine in to get fixed, and it took 3 days. My sistr went and picked it up and they did a horrible job on it. the top was replaced but towards the left side of it there is a huge gap from the plastic under it to the piece of plastic that is the place my hand rests(i can't think of the name of it), but on the other sides it is nice and in place.
The longer is use it when I rest my arm it seems like it is being pushed into place. I tried to physically push it down, but it wont budge. should I go get them to fix it again, or just wait(i know it's going to crack again), and have it replaced when it is cracked?

My iphone 4s is cracked at the bottom of the screen and it's in black, if i get a replacement phone for it can i get it in white instead?

I have a black iphone 4s and it's cracked/chipped at the right corner of the screen. The damage isn't too bad, but it's still not perfect in any way. I have apple care on it and I was wondering that if I was going to get a replacement phone for it and pay 50$ can i get the white iphone 4s instead?

If you want the iPhone in a different color, you can buy one at full retail price. The $299 price is subsidized from your carrier and you will be very unlikely to qualify for another subsidized device.

My front screen of my iphone 4 is cracked and if I bring it in to be fixed can I replace the front and back glass with a different color?

I recently dropped my iphone 4 and cracked the front screen if I brought it in to be fixed can I get both the front and back glass replaced with a different color?

No. They will not. The replacement will be identical to the old one. You always have the option of buying a brand new phone for the full retail price.

When I first downloaded to 7.1, it made my keyboard black with white letters. Very distinct. Now, it's somehow back to white with black letters. How do I get my black keyboard with white letters back ? iPhone 5S

You changed the proper preference, but you don't need to relaunch iTunes. You do, however, need to click the blue OK button at the bottom right of the preferences window. The change will happen then.

Can you change a black iPhone 5 case into the white iPhone 5 without buying a new phone?

Apple does not have an exchange program.
By the time you purchase the required materials to change the case from black to white and the expense to do so, you would be better off selling the black iPhone and use the proceeds to purchase a white one.
