I had a hair-line crack where the sensor is, but not where the back key is placed. Though only recently I have had the housing replaced on my Arc, and it feels more solid than before with no creaking whatsoever.
These Cracks are annoying and can cause phone durability, on this 1st picture you can see that the crack is not only in the plastic area, but also in scratch the metal plate
This is Happening to all Xperia Arc, after 1~2months of use, cracks will appear, and it is very common to midnight blue, some say that it was caused by the heat on that area everytime you charge or play games and wifi/browsing, and some say that it was cause by pressing the power button every now and then.
although it is now under warranty, SE said that it will be replaced with same material for now, and they might change it. I even read that someone already replaced it's front cover, but after a weeks used cracks appear again, this cannot continue like this, they really need to change the material used in that front cover

Have you informed Sony Ericsson of the cracks on your phone?

I still think these cracks are caused by aggressive handling (squeezing) of the Arc. A previous quantitative - but not fully exhaustive post showed more users not having these cracks. I'm hoping the one I trade for tomorrow for my iPhone 4 doesn't have these issues. It'll be my second try at Android - the first gen Galaxy was such a horrible experience it's incredible screen was like putting makeup on a pig!
Are there any apps that. Cannot/do not run on the Arc?! I worry due to the qHD displays and dual core CPU Android phones becoming so common. How soon will SE launch the Arc upgrade?

I don't know about games, I don't play much.

I had dropped mine twice from about 3 feet on to a carpet floor, but can't be sure if the hair-line crack appeared before or after, as at the time it was not something I was looking out for at that time. Though when I had heard more and more people bringing to light of this now (very common problem) I noticed mine had too. Only a couple of weeks later I my Arc fell from about 4 to 5 feet on to a marble floor. With that, there was a noticeable chip in top right hand corner of the device. Everytime I looked at my phone, my eyes were drawn to this area of my phone. So therefore I decided to have the housing replaced. I have only had the new housing on for just over 2 weeks, and at present I have not dropped it or noticed any cracks. I really hope it stays that way.

Can you tell me what date your phone was manufactured (found underneath the battery)?
One annoying bug, don't know if it's with android or the phone, but when you have a live wallpaper and you exit an application quickly sometimes the application freezes and is shown in the home screen behind the widgets and apps... Kind of weird

Yes, that has happened on a few occasions previously, but as far as I know it has not/hardly happened at all since updating to 2.3.3

That's what you get from an uber slim phone. Where(perhaps) the plastic is so thin, it can't handle much stress.
