Given the speed with which I had charging problems, it surprises me that I don't hear more people complaining about it. The metal contacts inside the case of mine don't seem to protrude enough. I can usually get it to work again with a q-tip... but not by cleaning. I kind of put it down and swirl it around until it catches on the metal and pulls them out again a bit. Without that, no amount of jiggling or pressing will get charging contact. Then it happens again a few days later. The right side started doing it first. The left one followed a few months later. But, i just had my own 'rattlegate' around the time of this post, and apple replaced the case under warranty for me with the bad pod, at least.
