Yup. Not for me, as I have belt holders for the little ones. But I had a 
friend visiting a few weeks ago with the little camera he carries around 
in his pocket.

He mentioned that something seemed to be starting to grow around the 
edges of his LCD. After a closer look, I was able to inform him it was 
not a growth, but the residue of the AR coating that had worn off the 
rest of the screen.
