NW-A1000's Back Cover

[Mr. Alfredsson]

Hello there!

Today, after a few days of use, i've dropped my NW-A1000 into the ground, but not higher then 8-10 centimeters.

It didn't happen anything more then a few small scratches. Even before i've noticed weakness in the

build quality. The front cover makes plastic noises when i push on it, and now - the back cover feels like a very used Nokia 3310 - like it can be removed. Is this normal? No big problem, but it feels like no quality. I can even press the back cover and it sounds like pressing a plastic button. When I put it on the table it sounds/feels like it's broken.

Anybody else who has this "problem"?

Wow, yours sounds pretty bad. The worst I have is that in the bottom left on the back, the back cover has become sort of unstuck so there's less than 1/4mm space between the curvy metal bit and the back cover. Not a big deal at all really, just makes a vibration sound when harshly putting it onto a hard surface.

I've had my NWA3000 since December '05 and dropped it onto concrete twice from a height of maybe a metre, so I'm actually pretty impressed that with the weight of it and the way it's been dropped, that its only been damaged in this way.

I have lots of tiny scratches on the front but you can only see them if you inspect it closely.

The A1000 is a bit more flimsier than the A3000, I have both and can easily tell you the A3000 feels more solidly built.

have exactly the same problem (with the front cover aswell). Was thinking about resorting to a drop of superglue to hold it down...
