Those flaps aren't really tough like the body. I suggest u should keep the phone away from Water.. If warranty exists, go to the service center and complain.. Next time, be careful with the flaps..

I've had my XZ since launch and it's fine - loose, but stays in when I close it. How have you been using the flap? Yanking it out with all your strength or something?

The only thing you really can do is get it replaced if it's under warranty.

I've always been carful with the flaps, but they are honestly the biggest physical design flaw of the XZ imho, and greatly improved in following models. The rubber seals roll and stretch just by closing and opening, and eventually will get caught and tare. I've replaced mine once already on the charge port. The port covers are a sloppy cheap design.

Also another reason I'm looking for an upgrade - mag charge cable so I don't have to keep opening the mini usb port.

Better flap design rather than higher IP Rating is way more important. In the case of XZ, it seems the flaps have been left out in terms of durability. I hope that's what newer premium models bring.

Had a similar problem try cleaning it with a cotton swab.
There's also an old thread discussing the same.
Don't use liquids otherwise you'll void your warranty.
That being said I "CAREFULLY " used a swab and isopropyl alcohol to clean mine.
It might just be a dust problem on sides.
