Lots of remotes seem to suffer from this, and even my cell phone does it. The Controller's cover is much more secure, which is great unless the cover popping off is some kind of defense mechanism.

May depend on if the wood floor is on joists or a slab, and I certainly wouldn't want to see it hit concrete/tile. > has anyone thought about how they are going to protect their precious > new acquisition from that inevitable fall? I'm going to stop standing it up on its sides, because even though it seems stable, it eventually falls over every time. I'll probably also try to kick it right before it hits the ground next time, to ease some of the downward momentum. -- Skunk http://www.last.fm/user/TheSkunk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44286 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
