Is my experience systematic for Canon PnS cameras?

I've owned a number of Canon P&S cameras with this lens cover design (S90, S100, SX230, SX280, G10, G15) -- still using G15, S100 and SX280 -- and I've never experienced this problem. This makes me wonder if there is something systemic in your use of the cameras which could be causing this problem? For example, if you carried or handled the camera in such a way that your hand or fingers pressed in on the blades when the camera was off it seems that could press the blades inward so they can contact the lens.
