iPhone 4 Missing Bottom Screws

At first, I didn't realize the the holes on the bottom of the iPhone 4 were for screws. I thought they were just for extra noise-cancellation or something. Then I saw the pictures on the website and realized that they are for screws. I then discovered that without them, I could remove the back panel.

To me, it doesn't seem like they should have fallen out, considering hey were supposed to be screwed in. I also haven't unscrewed them, and I don't ever remember them being there. So now I'm wondering if I ever had them to begin with.

My question is would going to the Apple Store be the only way to get new ones? That's a bit of a problem seing as the nearest one is an hour away, and that's a little far to drive for two little screws. Any suggestions on other ways of obtaining these screws? Do you think Apple may be able to ship me some replacements?

Yes. Unfortunately in this world there all kinds of people. Some are jerks and some are caring, helpful people. Some just fit in between somewhere. And it's nice when you can complain about the bad ones and commend the good ones. But this is not always possible.

On Apple's web site, at the bottom, is a "Contact Us" link. Perhaps on of the numbers on that page would allow you to do what you want.
