Careless no I'm very careful with my baby.. it's from me "prying" it open every time with a butter knife or something similar. It still closes properly just takes a little push to ensure it's sealed.

I picked up my S5 today and my first comment to the AT&T store clerk was how long do I have to get this repaired for free... It seems like it is going to break off.
FYI, (And I don't know if anybody already said it) The Active has a way easier flap thats easy to open and close. I hated the Reg s5 flap. Especially with a case on the phone, its dang there imposible with your nail. I was using an old Micro SD card I dont use anymore to open and charge my phone at night. Sucks......Active is a better phone all the way around. Just saying. At&t will let you trade too. Even after your 14 day per.
Use your index fingernail, not your thumbnail geniuses.

What did you do to get them to swap? I've had my S5 since Late may and the active looks tempting.
are there any differences in the camera features?
I was personally within my 14 day return period, hell I was still in the same day. You can argue with them about them playing games with release dates, but not sure how effective that would be. I just ask, and you would be surprised how often you get stuff.
So the S5 and S5 active have a few differences, but unlike the S4 and S4 active, they are not the specs. The camera, processor, memory, storage remain the same. What is different, the S5A has an extra button, which is customizable,but is designed for active use. It brings up the "Activity Zone" which has a barometer, compass, flashlight and compass. There is a short and long press option, so my short press enables the camera, long press enables the activity zone.
The S5A has no fingerprint sensor, and has a different cable. The S5 had the standard USB port, plus an additional port next to it to speed up data transfer with a computer. The S5A only has the standard port, which is fine. The buttons on the S5A are also real buttons, not just an area on the plastic, but they are pronounced.
::Edit:: Also note, it is a separate build of the OS. Still 4.4.2, but different kernel build for this device. So the fathers day gift from geohut (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783157) may or may not work with the S5 Active, TBD.

Sure thing. Mine pops open randomly and doesn't stay closed. I don't force it open, nor do I stuck anything other than my nail to open it. Had it since day one and its time to replace the flap. My only gripe with the phone.
I honestly can't imagine how having to take off a charge port cover to charge a phone is an inconvenience. The inconvenience is getting water in my phone and ruining it and paying $100-$200 deductible, if you have insurance, to replace it.
Ambiguous signature with techie jargon and hyperlinks.
I fully understand why they have this flap and its purpose but I am sure Samsung could have done a bit better on the design of it. Never had an issue with mine yet but always worries me when I open and close it so much to charge it just feels like it will snap off anytime. Hopefully they will have a free fix at some point if it ever does break.

13You guys are lazy. It takes, what, half a second to open? Use your index fingernail not your thumbnail.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk1I actually like the idea of covering the port, it's just very poorly executed on this phone. I really liked the sliding 'door' on the Captivate. But it's something that I'll learn to get used to.11
You probably made the value of your phone drop so much
