Recognizable.
After 2 weeks mine was hardly movable without dangerously bending the lid.
Reason was the plastic on plastic friction by the spring system that pushes the cover in position (2 step) and the cover part itself.

The cover came out with no damage, but usage marks were clearly visable.

Here is a picture of the phone with the lid off. (how to imbed flickr pictures anyway?)

It is not only the cover that needs care but also the tiny spring stamper, located under the inox hinge.

I doubt Nokia will sell user installable spare parts for that.

So it is better to apply some oil film on the touching plastic parts and you are good to go for another couple of days / weeks.
