What you don't see in my picture is that the rubber on the bottom has started to peel off too and it has somehow stretched... I should just get it to the repair shop but I'll wait a few months more.

My 60D did that as well, but rather than send it away and be without it and worrying about it for weeks, I got the parts from uscamera.com and did it myself. It was easy, took no more than 20 minutes, and cost only a little more than it would have to send the camera to Canon to fix. (I just had a look and uscamera don't seem to have parts for the 100D, but you might be able to find them elsewhere.) Just another way to look at solving the problem...
