I just got mine last night and the slide on cover wiggles around loose by a few millimeters when slid on with the screen viewable. Additionally when the cover is closed on the screen it doesn't feel solidly locked such that if you hold the device wrong it may slide out and drop on the ground when you are carrying it.

It may be just me, but I'm used to those old TI calculators that has a solid slide and clunk on cover.

Yes, it's not held in particularly strongly and mine wiggles a bit but I think this is a design decision - between making it quick and easy to remove the device from the cover against the risk of it accidentally falling out. I turned mine upside down and shook it into my hand and it doesn't take much force and obviously if you press anywhere near the power/USB socket it will fall right out.

Looking inside the case you might be able to mod the spring in some way to make it firmer.
