Anyone else have a small gap between the screen and the chrome edge? It's barely noticeable, but it seems like a little bit of dust can get in there.

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if this is the actual design. On the screen part of the Epic, I have 2 bulges on the right and one on the left where the side meets the backside of the screen, like the plastic is slightly warped.
Anyone else have this?
I have a black MT4G and I've noticed the metal that surrounds the front glass isn't flush all the way around the phone.
If I slide my finger off the screen to the right side, it slides right off and it looks like the glass is flush or slightly higher than the metal.
If I slide to the left slide, I hit the metal which is sticking up a bit from the screen.
Visually it's hard to notice, but I feel it every time I swipe to different home screens.
Anyone else notice this? Is your phone flush all around or is the metal slightly raised all around?
mine is the exact same as yours...I noticed when I first got it, but im not going to take my phone and a micrometer back to the store for a replacement.
I must noticed the bezel on my new GT 10.1 has a small bump on the top left edge of the bezel.
I thought it may be a scratch, but it looks lime a casting defect... Has anyone else seen odd bits on the plastic bezel?
I'm thinking if exchanging it, but won't bother if its pretty normal.
Thanks!

Feel free to take an image. But that corner and the opposite is where the to pieces joins on my tab.
Yep... mine has the same thing too. Mine is on every single corner. I doubt this is a defect, I never even noticed it until I seen your post and looked very closely.
When held in landscape mode, the 'bump' is on the left side, on the bezel surface that is flush with the bezel and directly above the speaker.
Ie I felt it as a bump becuase it was right next to the edge of the screen.
I will try and take picture..
I've notice that my screen ripples alot on the left side of the screen. It doesn't really take that much force to cause it. Is this a defect in the product or just a case of thin glass? The screen touch sensitivity works just fine just has ripple effect when pressing on the screen lightly.
My N7 does this a little when there's slight pressure on the center left side of the screen. It happens in the same place that I get minor screen lifting and creaking. Maybe it has something to do with the glass being pressed too close to the screen. I've had a number of iPod Touch 4th generation devices that have the effect you're describing so it isn't just limited to this first batch of N7.
I think if you're having to press it deliberately to see it and it doesn't show in normal use, it might not be an issue, as it isn't for me. But then again I have several other issues with my N7 that bother me a lot more.
If you do see it regularly in normal use, I think it would be reasonable to get a replacement.
I not a "serious" problem to me yet but it only really happens if i tap the screen with my nail oppose to my thumb / finger tips.
Usually this is a consequence of screen lifting. Many units are having adhesive failures on the left side of the display, causing it to lift up.
To check for screen lifting, hold the device at eye level with the right portrait side closest to you. Look across the display and hold it so the left bezel is visible as a thin, silver line. If the display is flush, it will not interrupt that line. If the black cuts into the silver, you know that the adhesive on the left side of your display is starting to fail.
But for what you're experiencing to happen, such a subtle test is usually unnecessary. Just look at that edge and see if it moves when you press it. It may feel spongey or make a creaking noise.
This defect does qualify you for an exchange. If your screen distorts under pressure that's not good for it, and all that bending will shorten the lifespan of your device. Also, if there is separation it may progress and become noticeable during normal use.

Gotcha. Yeah, it's one of those things that once you notice it's hard to ignore. Just as it is with all the other N7 issues and electronic devices in general.
Does it do it just on the edge of the left area of the screen or closer to the middle?
You generally don't want to be using your nail to use the screen, but I can see how that would illustrate the effect.
I completely agree with the above poster.

I don't see any sort of screen separation, screen looks as flush as it should be. Plus I have no creaking noise and/or spongey effect. :\

I agree once I found it it now bugs me lol. It happens not really towards the middle just maybe a centimeter above the status bar at the bottom.
Let me first say I'm very impressed & happy with my S4 (i9505) and that it works great.
As I'm a perfectionist, I can sometimes really bother about tiny details.
Below I'll describe what I noticed, and I'm wondering if this is fixable (preferably by myself) and if others have experienced the same.
The S4 has a smooth alu-look bezel around the glass, the bezel is 1mm (or even a bit less) "higher" than the glass/screen.
This counts for my S4 as well, except for the left bottom corner. I can "feel" the sharper edge of the glass. Please note it's too small to make a photo off, and very hard to see by eye.
My conclusion, in the left bottom of the screen, the glass is a bit raised compared to other sides.
Also, as my collegue has the same phone, I noticed that this is not a general issue as that phone doesn't have the same "feel"
Did anybody else experience the same, and is it something simple fixable?
small note: I didn't purchase the phone where I live, so it's impossible for me to go back to the seller for this thing (and I think he would laugh at me in my face .
