I have had mine for about 2 weeks now with no cracking. I purchased an invisible shield from Shieldzone, and put it on the phone as soon as I bought it. Maybe that is why mine hasn't cracked.

Yes, it is very well known that the White Touch cases crack in two places.
Check out the HowardForums' Bell Mobility "Limited Edition White" unit on the subject, well before there was a Verizon version..

EDIT: This issue was discussed in a previous thread prior to the Verizon Touch's release. I had even talked with Verizon Sales and Tech to see if Verizon was aware and had addressed this before releasing their unit, they were not aware of the defect in "White Plastic" devices, this is common on Ipods and iBooks as well.

Has nothing to do with a screen protector; I've had one on since day one and less than sixty days later, a crack in the housing.
