as for the screwdriver being "impossible" to obtain, that isn't true, they're all over ebay. in fact upon finding out my screws weren't phillips, i went to jp cell repair and he helped me pop em out and put in phillips ones

because the newer iphone4's are being shipped with these pentalobe screws, doesn't surprise me that they'd be swapping the screws when you bring your phone in for repair too. 95% of people are gonna have a phillips screwdriver that fits the old screws, significantly less are gonna have the pentalobe screwdriver

How recent did you get yours?

I got my 4.1 replaced @ the apple store 2 weeks ago and my 4.2.1 still used the phillips screws.
