Oh ya… I also stopped using the Hi12 keyboard. I think this is a very serious issue. The thread started by Guy was a month ago and the only reply was another person saying they too had this issue.
At the very least, I think Chris could write a post recommending care when using the keyboard. Always be sure it is seated correctly when opening and closing. The tablet is way under engineered for the strength of the hinge resistance.
Has this issue been addressed already?
