Unfortunately, whilst everything worked for a couple of weeks I had my first two failures today. It took four attempts for payment to go through and the terminal needed to be reset as it hung. At the next retailer I couldn't get any response until I squeezed the phone in the spot I've discovered. I had a look at the casing and, as before, the back cover is lifting off ever so slightly under the camera area in the middle of the long dimension. The other side (away from the camera) is fine and the rear cover is snug. This would suggest the phone is not longer water proof if the cover is opening up.
Asus, how many times do I need to return my phone before a lasting solution is found? It's clear removing the cover, applying glue again, and closing it up isn't proving to be a lasting solution. At some stage the costs of international courier services to/from Europe are going make it cheaper to send a new replacement or a new model that doesn't have the problem.
