Is it the little bit of plastic that is missing? If so it doesnt really matter.

It does if you take pride in your equipment.

What are you trying to say? That i don't?

I say it 'doesnt matter' as it doesnt hold the card in or protect anything important. It just stops dirt getting in, and if your memory card is in the dirt cant get in.

Im sorry to tell you but there aint much you can do about it... it comes attached to the phone inside, finding a spare will be hard. If your phone is new you could send it back and say it fell off or something. You never know...

Mine has remained intack for a year. Only problem was the memory card slowly disintegrated...

You never made that clear, though.

Don't apologise, it doesn't affect me.

Replacements are easy to source, though.

Nice one!

It's easy to fit, too.

Just pop the front cover off by removing the screws under the battery cover and back fascia.

You may even be able to fit it through the slot itself without removing any of the covers.

What do you mean? It is still intack - It shouldnt fall off.

I take pride in my phone.... Although you say i don't.

And yes the memory card did start to disintergrate.... So i bought a new one.

Excuse me, where have i said you don't take pride in your phone?

I've never seen a memory card disintergrate before...

Oh, and it's 'intact', not 'intack'.

There you go...

And yes, it slowly broke up until half the cover was gone. It then died on me.

Cheap rubbish.

Eh?

In what way does that say that you don't take pride in your equipment?

The memory card is in the phone...it slowly broke away as it was cheap crap (Probably a fake). I didnt take it out and bash it around....

I now have a real one. I didnt know i was gonna get a fake.

And yes, why do you always think you are correct? Im just telling you what happened. Is it so hard to belive somebody is telling you the truth?

Obviously, i didn't realise it were a fake (i've never seen a fake!).

The real ones are pretty much a solid block, hence i didn't understand how it could disintegrate.
