Was made ware of this issue today in posts on other EVO 4G forums and was wondering if any XDA users noticed the problem. Searched to see if this was already posted here, but didn't come up with any threads.

Photo of an example found here; http://i50.tinypic.com/2hrhcie.jpg

Mines cracked going to the screen and not the battery.


How did this happen?!

lol @clockcycle, you're making the rounds aren't you?

after seeing your thread at sprintusers I stopped by a Sprint store near my house and showed them. They said they would definitely replace it... if they had any in stock...

I waited 30 days to get a replacement swap out for screen seperation. Now its out of that 30 days and RS says they can't do it now.


BS.

Nope. I treat my phones probably better than just about anything. I've never dropped it or hit it on anything. That's evident by the complete absence of any scuffs or scratches anywhere else on the phone.

Also I didn't go in all pissed off or bothered, I just told him I found a defect and asked him his opinion about it

Got the same frikken issue. I had just made the decision to keep the phone today too. I can get a replacement but i am worried whether they'll fix the hole for rooting on the new unit.

Never dropped it. I do believe it could be from holding the power button combo when tryin to boot into recovery early in this EVO's life.

I don't have one either, and I did drop my phone once. It was in a hard case, and it fell on carpet.

Yeah I have it on mine. My original store said they'd replace it but the one where I'm at now called it a cosmetic defect and they wouldn't do anything. I haven't even done anything to damage it.

sent from my Evo beast

Likewise, its very difficult to see but it does bring out my ocd just a little. I think I'll stop at the Sprint repair center tomorrow. If they want to replace it with a new one I'll probably let them

biggest problem i see with this is that if the other side cracks the we may well lose a power button.

DANG IT! Mine is, cracked up toward screen/speaker. That kind of sucks, but it is kind of invisible, too.

I'll call Sprint tomorrow and see if they'll believe that it happened on its own.

What's up with Sprint chat lately, anyway? It is always off line.

No crack, and dropped it on pavement a couple of weeks ago, no case.

Mine is cracked. Didn't even notice it though until I read this thread.
