There are a bunch of news reports regarding cracks found on the white iphones. Some are speculating that both colors have cracks, but the cracks on the white phones are more visible.

I just checked my black 8g phone, and sure enough, I found three cracks. I just purchased it last night, and it basically sat in its box until 2 hours ago.

Run your finger nail over the thin plastic bridge between the glass and the headphone jack. I can see and feel a crack there.

I'll wait for Rev2 of Rev2 ;) Hopefully the 32gb models being released next will have longer battery life, too!

No cracks and it's never been in a cover. Personally it wouldn't bother me as long as the phone doesn't literally start falling apart.
