I actually had that problem with it facing in for the first day or two. Not sure if I subconsciously changed the way I grabbed it or what, but doesn't happen anymore.

Those phones were all bullet-proof, dropped them all numerous times, and only complain I can think of (only one that failed on me) is the 700WX with it’s proprietary power plug that will not charge after 20 months (reason for HTC Touch Pro upgrade).
I think if I dropped the HTC it would break into pieces, the screen sliders don’t seem very sturdy brand new…… I’m a heavy user, work IT sys admin so messages every few minutes, texts constantly, in and out of pocket as belt cases suck, climb under stuff, into cramped rooms….and then there is home life where I work in a yard, on my rental properties, etc. I just have to have something that “takes the licking and keeps on ticking” and I just don’t see this one lasting 6 months, not to mention the 2 years of contact….

No thread I'm aware of, and shouldn't be necessary. I work the same job you do with the same heavy phone, text, and e-mail usage and had a Mogul for the last 18 months before this one. Not only does this feel better built than my Mogul did, but the Mogul lasted flawlessly from a hardware perspective for the entire time despite multiple drops and plenty of chips and scratches building up from said drops. I stick to a holster, though, as pocket scratches, pocket dialing, and fishing around for it suck. I'm really not concerned about the build quality of this one, it feels great to me.
