I have noticed that mine is a tiny bit looser. I found out by accident that one can do the "James T. Kirk Communicator Flip" to close the cover, catching it at the last second with one's fingers before it slams. Although one can also do the "One Finger Cover Close" by simply pushing on the top edge of the flip cover while it's open. __________________ Mike Thompson

Mine's been 'commando' ever since... __________________ 'Sorrow is essential to life, and cannot be evaded. Nirvana, being non-conditioned, is quiescent.'

I think bezman may be right that it takes a breaking-in period and then it goes away. I don't use the cover anymore, though.

LOL! I do that with my SJ33 all the time! Sometimes I can open it like that.
