Cracked Phantom

[Douger]

The emotianal purchase is absolutely understandable!!bad luck for the crack though. Probably damaged during transportation from the factory to apple or from apple to final delivery.
Why did you return it without a getting a replacement unit?

I guess that will never be known; however, it was carefully examined both in the Apple Store and upon arrival home. Care in Transportation on my part exceeded that afforded my first born. I didn't get a replacement because I didn't want to run the risk of the replacement cracking during or after the warranty period and the hassle that might generate. Also, the amount of pressure reported within the Kevlar envelope suggestein my feeble mind that there might be danger involved.  Additionally, I didn't have any insight into how widespread this cracking condition might be among other buyers. 

Thanks for your expression of concern.
