-- Edge Cover snaps in place! (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=18540)

Edge Cover snaps in place!

I don't know if this is normal. I just got my second Edge......a long story.
The first thing I noticed with my new Edge is that the cover snaps securly when closed. It snaps so securly that it takes effort to open it.
On my old Edge the cover was simply held closed by the force of the spring.

I don't know which is normal? This snap thing is actually a bit anoying.

Mine snaps shut as well -- a little too tightly. I have to push down on the stylus as a lever to release it. I wonder which was the intended closure.

When did you buy your Edge?
I'm thinking that this may be some kind of new development for the Edge.
Some of my friends have old one's and they do not nor ever did snap in place!

Sometimes -- especially when new -- the glue or glue overspray on the little black pad at the front of the cover where it impacts the edge itself is sticky and keeps the unit shut -- as if it has a closure snap.

This could be your situation -- it was for me on one Edge -- and no such situation on a second --Maybe??

Well that's what I thought at first, but then it would snap only when you open it, it would not make a snap when you close it.

Look at your cover, right by that black pad. The metal part that goes down from that, I can see where it snaps into a groove on the bottom of the Edge.....between the two screws on the bottom.

Meaning that if I bent the metal plate outwards a little, it will stop snapping in place!

That's tue -- mine did only snap when I opened it -- A bend to the lip protruding from the forward section of the front cover would do that -- that is probably the case in this instance. I have a significant amount of clearance between the edge protrusion on the front of the cover and the plastic/nylon body of the unit --
