Because they are.
I have a black/grey Griffin Nu Form case for my iPhone 3G, bought some months ago, along with one for Stelios. Both cases are now broken, in exactly the same place: just below the top left corner.
I know I’ve never dropped the phone so far, I don’t put it in my pocket, and 90% of its idle time, the iPhone is lying around on my desk or being securely tucked in one of my bag’s pockets. I don’t treat it hard nor I remove the case often. Then why is it broken, all of a sudden?
I should add that the included screen protector is kinda thick and moves a lot around, creating little Newton rings below and making the screen very hard to read sometimes. But I digress. I could live with that if the damn case would not break so easily.
I’m not pleased with this purchase. I’d like to replace my case (I have now gone back to a simple silicone one) but I don’t know of any quality but not wallet-draining cases. Any ideas?

hej there, my recommendation is the original ipod classic sleeve (the black cloth
). Classy and good looking to hold your iPhone. I think the plain design it carries is excellent (that’s subjective of course) and does the job. Good luck with your quest.

I used to tuck my iPhone in a woolen former iPod sock, but the whole getting it out, getting it in again thing did not work very well for me.
Glad it works for you though

Use your “simple silicone” one. It’s just perfect and there’s no better than that.

Mine broke in the same spot…..
I’m going to email Griffin and see what they say, but I’ve never dropped banged anything my case. It’s a stress point on the plastic.

@kh64 Indeed. These cases are badly manufactured and they always result in this kind of mess.
