How long have you had your Edge 500? Mine is falling apart too, and held together with scotch tape. The tape keeps the buttons in and functioning, for now. I'm also eyeing the 520, but hope that the 500 holds up for a while longer (no, I don't want to be an early adopter). It's disappointing that my Garmin works just fine, except for the rubber around the buttons.
