Green FP3 Case has stretched out

[ctmcginnis]

The green case I bought for my FP3+ has stretched so as to allow the phone to easily slip out thus lessening its protective function. It is about 5mm longer top to bottom and 2 - 3 from side to side. Has anyone else encountered this and also found a way to shrink it back some? I thought maybe I would try heating and cooling it in water or with a hair dryer but would like to see if someone has found a solution to this, first. It would be really nice not to have to replace it.
TIA

I love the fact that they are made from recycled plastic, however at 40€ a pop plus postage they’re not cheap and I would like this new blue one to last longer than its green predecessor. Has anybody else had this experience of the case loosening? Does anyone have any tips on how to get a loose case back to its orig…
