hmm... same, my sct hasn't had any issues.. but my eb broke 3 this week. I took it off after the first time and tried to round down the edges (they looked fine), i bought some mugen straps from the lhs to get me through the day, but they are only the short straps. ill take off the side again and rub it down again and see whats going on.... cause it does seem like its getting cut by the side, but its rounded.. so i don't understand how?!? haha
