I'm getting it looked at in a week, will follow up with the outcome.

Yeah unfortunately do nothing and stop using it isn't an option because of the cut-out on the bottom, and the fact that the stealth cover doesn't lay flush. Seems like I'll have to take it to the shop (which is, unfortunately, ~2 hrs away).
