Hi people,
Has anyone of you had problems with the Orizon housing?
I've traveled only a few times (5-6 times maybe) with my Orizon (and only 2 times for longer trips). When I was not holding it in my hand it always stayed in my bag, inside its neoprene sleeve and for a few longer trips it was also wrapped in plastic bubbles bag. The bag hasn't been exposed to mechanical shocks, hasn't been dropped on the floor or similar.
Needles to say, I had never dropped the Orizon.
And yet, a crack appeared on the silver strip of plastic that connects the upper housing (black in my case) with the lower housing (white), just near the power on button. This plastic strip, about 2 millimeters wide, seems to be quite thin. I thought maybe it cracked because I have strong fingers and the crack is near the power button, but after two days of minimal manipulation of the device, a new crack appeared, also on the silver strip but on the opposite upper corner. Luckily, the device still had almost 2 months of the warranty time (which is only 1 year) and I managed to get a replacement (explaining and showing that the device was not dropped on the floor), but now I am very worried it will happen again.
Maybe I should try using the ebook reader without touching it? But how?
