Even cases that are part of Apple's 'made for iPhone' program are reportedly being pulled."</em></p><p>I have not seen an example of this in the wild, but I'm glad Apple is being proactive while they investigate this problem. &nbsp;It's going to hurt the bottom lines of a lot of case companies, but it'll probably save Apple from later trouble if "glassgate" is real. &nbsp;Have you had a problem with slider cases cracking your iPhone 4's glass?</p>

Seems like Apple should beta test their products with cases from OEMs...

And here I was hoping to get a slider case for my iPhone 4. :( My favorite iPhone 3GS case was a slider.
