    It all comes apart, i took mine apart and took the grip off and painted it (S2 on the left) with a rubber laytex paint.



    One thing i noticed is the little sand paper section in the front where your finger tips touch is like grip tape. I think it can peen off. Is that what your talking about?

    Sorry for the long delay, and thank you for the responses!
    Acutally it is that part "the grip tape) and the panel that is right next to that on the grip. Just near the door for SD card. It seems the whole thing is slightly loose. I have tried to tighten the screws, but they will go no further...I am just hoping the thing isn't going to crap out on me during out upcoming vacation (2 weeks and couting!)

    Thanks for the responses....Any suggestions?

    Mine does that too, and it has since the start. Its worse if the weather is warm, or if I make it warm by holding it for a long time.... I don't think its a problem....
