Class action suit against Apple over broken iPhone 4 glass

California resident Donald LeBuhn filed a class action lawsuit Tuesday against Apple alleging that Apple's iPhone 4 has a manufacturing defect that causes its glass housing to break after "reasonable use."

In the filing, LeBuhn's attorneys tell their client's tale of iPhone 4 woe: When his daughter was using the phone to send a text message, she dropped it from a height of 3 feet, and the phone's glass allegedly shattered. The phone had a protective bumper on it when it was dropped, the suit said. LeBuhn then took the phone to a mom and pop Apple repair store so he could save $50 on the $159 re-glassing job. But because the outlet was not one of Apple's own, his warranty was voided. LeBuhn is peeved because of what he perceives as Apple's frequent claims about the strength and durability of the iPhone's glass. LeBuhn is suing for a variety of monetary damages, attorney's fees, and injunctions attempting to force Apple to contact all iPhone 4 owners to notify them of their "options to replace the damaged glass" -- including the right to a refund and "compensatory damages."
