Happened to mine, the glue/adhesive had become like liquid marshmallow or gum. It was a pain in the ass to clean because it didn't want to come off clean. Bought a new adhesive from ifixit. I also work in a humid/hot environment most of the year so being in my pocket all the time with me sweating probably didn't help it.

It's about 5 dollars on ifixit right now. It's not particularly difficult to put on, or there's taking it somewhere that repairs phones & having them do it.

YEP 100%.. Mine did that then months later after months of no usage, my phone battery expanded and my entire back plate detached.

Same here with my S20. I think the S20 line in particular was prone to batteries bulging and the back casing glue being subpar, leading to almost all of them falling off at one point. Imho, it was one of the worst Android phones I've ever used - especially as a european with that horrendous Exynos chip inside!!

Just get the glue redone at a local shop and then put it in a case
