just to add to the story: i have 2 white phantoms, both with the same cracks. I went back to 2 different apple stores to check a total of 4-5 phantoms, all with the same marring (i don't think the cracks are very deep but they are clearly cracks into the paintwork (and not scratches on top i don't believe). Unfortunately i cant be 100% sure but i do think the cracks/marring was near or directly under the red sticker. I just accepted it as a manufacturing fault but certainly am disappointed by it.
