If so that's the exact same case I have myself.
Please do post pics of the damage as now you have me worried whether the same thing might happen to mine.

The locking tab is rubbing the phone every time I remove or put the phone in it .

Just make sure to bend the tab way back even when putting the phone in , but I don't know if bending it so much will weaken it and let the phone fall out one day.

That's what I do.
So I take it you've just been snapping it in without doing that?

Thumbs down to a Good case

I just bought this case and it looks great and could of been a great case. The only problem is that it doesn't fit the phone. Th SGS2 has wiggle room and moves inside the case. You can also pull it out easily, and it creaks when you hold it. I don't know if its just my case or a production problem.

The cut-out in one corner indicates that it's probably designed for the Korean version of the phone, which is slightly thicker, hence the wiggle room you describe.
Yup, that corner is where the antenna is on the Korean version.
Thanks for the info after the fact
What case is it?

I'm assuming it is an SGP case.

Top Of Phone Magnetic

This may be me being amazingly paranoid, but the top of my nexus picked up a staple off my work desk and took it with it.
I've never had a magnetic phone before, and it doesn't do this at the bottom of the phone, just the top.
I'm a bit concerned about putting it by my head now, but I don't really want to make a hat out of tin foil to use my phone.
Anyone else notice their phone doing this?
its highly possible the internal speaker is quite close to the plastic case speakers have magnets on them.......

Little know fact that the Nexus was spliced with a Magpie.
Be careful or more shiny things will go missing

but the nexus is shiny..........mind = blown
Im guessing that if its the speaker that its actually no worse than wearing big headphones
Nice - maybe I can turn my Nexus into an expensive Fridge Magnet while they fix the volume problem
You can also glue a piece of metal to your head and instant hands free

Now that is genius. And much cheaper than an overpriced bluetooth headset.

The photos explain everything

Same here. I guess we have to do this every once in a while.
Same for my lumia 800, just have to rub it
Is it a one year warranty on the case? It's starting to deform a bit at the top right corner.
The Nokia gel cases do carry a 1 year warranty and AT&T told me they tied the purchase to my account so I don't even need a reciept.

I spoke with Nokia today and they said the warranty is 6 months for cases.
That edge on the original gel case is definitely leaving a mark with time. Even rubbing the mark on the phone now still leaves a noticeable mark.
I am going to put a couple layers of scotch tape on the case where that edge is to try and protect the phone.

Cheap Leather Cases How-to

I like to carry my cell phone on my belt for easy access and that was easy with my old phones using something I picked up at Home Depot. Now I have an HTC Sensation 4G and it was WAY too big for my old case so I went shopping on ebay.
Since the phone is long I wanted to switch to a horizontal case because the vertical one I had sometimes got in the way when I sat down.
I found this case and it looked perfect:

It even said my phone would fit! Two weeks later I get the case and it's WAY too small, especially when I put the phone in it's Otterbox case.
If you find yourself in a similar bind the solution is easy ... stretch the leather! You can do it with water but I prefer alcohol since it dries fast and you can repeat the stretching steps quickly.
1) find something that fits in the case.
2) wet the case with alcohol, insert the thing that fits and jam in something next to it, Start small and work your way up.
3) Repeat until your phone fits.
It took me 1/2 hour or so but now my phone slides in easily. I had to stretch the case about 1/2" (13mm).
I may have to repeat this when my new quad core phone comes since it's even bigger.

Question Best bike phone mount?

Does anyone have any experience with bike phone mounts? I've only seen Quad-Lock and Spigen Gearlock Stem Bike Phone Mount.
I have this one on my Pedego Element - https://pedegoelectricbikes.com/product/pedego-premium-phone-holder/
It holds my 9 securely as long as I take it out of my Spigen Tough Armor. With the case on, the phone wiggled loose and flew out twice before I just started taking it out of my case and it hasn't been a problem since.
I looked into Quad-Lock and a few others but I really don't want my phone mounted like that because I can't see it.
I have one from SP Connect.
Stuck the universal mount on a separate case so I don't have the bulge all the way.
Easy enough to swap the case when I'm going riding...
Also have one of those silicone universal wrap things which I keep in my cycling bag just in case. Also works well, but rattles a lot.
Best mobile holders are the one-hand touch that hold the device by all 4 angles and they close automatically the moment the device is touching the inside back of the holder.
Like this one at 11euro. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001507407448.html
@FloRida1999 i went for something like

I did It some yars ago, it's still in place
