I wanted to check: are you familiar with the eMate's hinge problem?

If so, you can stop reading here.  If not, please check out the below and familiarize yourself with it:

The eMate's a pretty amazing device.  Unfortunately, that potential hinge problem is its Achilles heel, so it's worth taking care of (if you haven't already) in order to keep your eMate in viable condition.
