The vulcanite on pre Ms on the other hand can remain nicely in place even if it's attached only in one spot. There's nowhere for it to move thankfully. Try tapping on a pre-M's shell around the back and front under slow speed dial or blank plug. You may be able to hear the telltale sound of loose vulcanite.
