Does anyone else have a problem with the hinge becoming too loose and it falling off the key ring ?

No, mine locks very tightly and takes two hands to pull apart. It's still pretty new though. Hopefully the mechanism won't wear over time. It seems well made enough that it won't though.

I've had mine for a couple of months now. I keep it on my keychain, taking it off 3-4 times a week. So far, the hinge is still very secure, showing no signs of wear or loosening.

Same thing happened with mine. I found that pushing down on the top near the latch sometimes helps. I went to a locksmith and he adjusted the latch but still sticks at times

There seems to be a stress point between the hinge and the audio jack. I've experienced severe cracking in this area.

I have buttons that keep popping off the top row. I advise you to save up and buy a better quality keyboard. That's what I am doing.

the top and bottom pieces are actually not connected in this cover and so it is not a problem. i have not seen any issues with mine so far. The hinge is still tight and not loose and it works well.

Mine is not loose now, but I think it was when it came in. There are various screws, find the ones that attach the parts that are loose, and tighten them. Hope that helps,

The hinge does eventually wear out over time. At best you'll get maybe a couple months out of the case and have to replace it. I'm already looking to replace mine in less than a year, might look at a different brand and hope it lasts.

Other possibility is that the two halves (indoor and outdoor) of the housing are pinching down on the mechanism when the two installation screws are tightened. Mine was like this and I added a thin washer to both the upper and lower screws between the two halves (installation is a little tricky...extra hands help). You can check for this condition by simply loosening the two installation screws to see if the key cylinder frees up.

I've had no issue with my side button coming off when removing the case but I've only taken it off twice. I'd ask for a new one, doesnt seem normal.

No I've never had that problem. Are you sure you aren't slightly resting your finger on the left or right key when this happens?!

Mine is doing great. It's easier to open each slot after the 7 or 8 months I've had mine. I've been careful with the hinges since another reviewer mentioned he's breaking off, so none of mine have broken. I love it!

I have the problem where the case has cracked along the hinges. I have had my case for over a year and while it is cracked pretty badly, it doesn't seem to impair the workings of the case. It still has a stiff hinging motion, needed for putting in any position, and everything works fine with the keyboard. I know several people have mentioned they think it shouldn't crack and while this is probably true, but if you didn't notice the cracking, you would never know because it functions just fine. Mine still works like new! i love it because I can type so much faster and it's much easier with a keyboard to telecommute with my office.

I never had any problems. I LOVE this keyboard. I lost it during a move. Thank you for reminding me. I will buy another now.

Mine broke when used on a Flexi. I used a zip tie instead. the zip tie dug into my hand. I now use a zinc plated key ring instead works wonders!

I got an all leather one also and the keys on the keyboard keep popping off. I am not very happy with the quality.
