Thanks for the input guys, maybe flaw should more be "design oversight". My point is you know people are going to drop these phones WHILE USING THEM, which means a pouch does no good in that situation. I just think it is a bad idea to join metal and plastic at a seam right dead center at the top of the phone. You are better either wrapping the metal bezel around the top and over the back, and having the plastic snap in in the back, or wrap the plastic over the front (less desirable looking), but either way, don't meet them in the middle, it will cause issues like I had.
Judging from your reactions, I guess I am expecting too much, I can deal with that. And like I said, the drop is my fault, I get that, I just think a bad design decision made it far worse than it needed to be.
And yes, I did fix it, I used a small file, and the back comes off much easier than it ever did now.
