The pics on Flickr says it all. I too loved the Contour cases for my iPod. I've owned two for my respective 3g and 4g iPods. I was blindly brand loyal to Contour and bought this at MacWorld before I bought the phone. I didn't apply any pressure to that spot. I didn't drop it. As Zeos said, the case has a snug fit in that area that is hard plastic to glass. The most disappointing is that the company has not sent me instructions on how to get my refund for a very defective product. I now have an Agent 18 case which does not have any obstruction on the iPhone glass.
Stay away from this case!!!
