Does anyone know if this would be fixed under warranty and if not the best way to restick it down?

I would try heating up the glue and sticking it back down.. heat gun would be best.. just be careful of how much you heat it up. Also.. in the future I wouldn't use a toothbrush. You maybe pushing dirt down into the grill. Something like silly putty might work better. I meant to add that when I get mine, I'm going to try a car/electronics attachment that came with my shark vacuum. It has tiny hose parts that might be able to suck debris out of the grill instead of pushing it down in there. I think they sell attachments like that for small shop vacs and other vacuums but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the tip the 1st few times i used a softish toothbrush and was ok, silly putty ive seen aimed for tech stuff and more jel like would work better i think next time and had used the tooth brush before ok i just think i removed the adhesive bond when cleaning it with the wipes as the phones not been expose to any heat for it to warm up enough for the grill to slide off.

Fingers cross Razer would good will a return / repair for me as now the speaker is a bit tinny and while holding the plastic tightly to the phone its not great abover 70% volume level but looking at the speaker grill in the middle its torn away a patch. This maybe to allow the sound out as it was a neat cut in the material thats left. Still wouldnt want to superglue resin (self repair) it until razer come back and say if they will fix it for me or not.

This stuff would be good.

Cheers i did compile a post and closed the wrong tab went away from my desk. Im waiting for someone in Razer to agree to the repair under warranty but if not ill be getting some tape hopefully i can find some thin and strong enough to go between the plastic thats come off and the non sticky adhevsive tape thats still there. Im not 100% sure if i should tape around the little square cut out or not. i was thinking small path between the left edge and camera/sensor and then a small bit to e right between camera and the torn away patch and then the last strip to the right of the pacth. its odd the patch is thereand its alot thiner than the rest of it.

Applying some pressure to the patch part i can only assume its the speaker as when covering it up the phones quiter. just unsure why its a patch? when playing last night with the bit that fell off theres some vibration so thinking where the patch is i just secure it down with the tape where i can.

Also may get a screen protector to remove the lip between the screen height compared to the plastic that fell off as this is not smooth and is a little sharp. - I may flag this with razer as a design flaw which could have lead to the problem as if it was sunken down it wouldnt have moved out of place

Something like this almost seems better. https://www.amazon.com/Innovative-C...&sr=8-4&keywords=cleaning+gel#customerReviews
