Love this little camera, taken some great pics and videos BUT after a few days of underwater use on a recent Caribbean cruise vacation it developed a small crack near the bottom and died. (yes, I was using the protection pack cover)

Contacted HTC and they issued a pre-paid label to return it, offered a free replacement which came quickly BUT I'm concerned that this one will crack too. Anyone try taping around the lower end of the cylinder or some other type of pre-cracking protection? I wish they would beef up this camera, perhaps add a metal band like the one around the lens?
