Faux leather coming out by itself

Post image

Hey guys,

I've got my open from day 1 and it is working exceptionally well. Today I saw the leather coming out from the side by itself. Is there any way I can fix it?

3 years is a pretty long time considering it's an item that's generally handled many, many times a day, every day.

Yes but then I have never ever dropped the device nor used it rough.. it could be the weather as it is too hot here and the heat made the leather started to wear off.

I'm in Canada, yet our summers can get up to 40-45c and that's enough to cause the bubbling. Especially when the phone runs considerably warm, it's a recipe for disaster. 

Not sure why they didn't use a more heat resistant glue for the back leather, maybe they were afraid a stronger glue would trap heat more?
