I experienced several instances of crashing when I close the slider. I thought for sure my phone was messed up. The screen would turn black but you could tell it was still lit. It would be like that for a few seconds then turn off. Then you could turn the phone back on.

I thought maybe the battery was loose so I took the Touchstone back cover off and took a look at it closer. There are two metal prongs that touch two metal contacts on the inside of the Touchstone back cover. Then it dawned on me that it's possible that when the slider is closed that the two contacts were jolted and the connection broke and that it would be causing the phone to crash.

I tested it couple more times by closing the slider with the Touchstone back cover on. The phone continued to crash.

Then I tested it by replacing the back with the original. No crashes.

Anyone with Touchstone experience this issue?

EDIT: Apparently this is happening to those WITHOUT Touchstone too so it probably has nothing to do with Touchstone.
