I don't understand SIMONKIRKLAND.... If you are gonna get your inssurance company to replace it, Why R U asking? what answer are you trying to get from "us"?

In any case, it is tru that some earlier releases (at least in Catalunya & Spain), have looser covers (in general), than the later ones. Mine, bought in January this year, is as tied as hell instead, my cousin's and my partner's, are very soft an sometimes even move when typing SMSs...
