Does everyone xoom back cover where the top and bottom cover meet has a slight creak when depress between the left speaker and camera? The area can be depress slightly also.

Don't think so, I believe someone else posted about this and exchanged theirs. I wonder if this is a defect in many devices now that you're posting on the same thing.

mine can be compressed, it doesn't make any noise though.
In the end -- they're two pieces, a little movement is expected.
Just checked, mine does not creak at all. Might be a defect, i'd take it to a VZW location and compare it to the sales demo or a new model.
Mine does this too

thanks, everybody for the response.
mine does it too.....i'm not returning it
Mine does it as well although not every time I press there. Not returning mine.

i looked it up on google and saw someone else have the same problem but im not sure if i get another if its gonna feel the same way
Mine is solid as a rock. I would take it back.

I didn't notice having a problem with this either but I'll be double checking it tonight..=)
No such thing with mine.
its right where the back cover and edge of screen meet on the side with volume buttons
i bought it from best buy and there out of stock so i need to wait. luckily i have a 45 day return policy on it
nothing wrong with mine. Very solid
Swap it out. I just checked mine and it is clean and tight.

No such issue here. Go check a demo unit to compare. I think you need to return it.

Saw this in a search, same problem here. Is this really not a common issue? It's terrible when you pick up your $800 tablet and it makes an awful noise like it's going to break.
Just got mine out my bag to check but it's solid.
Noticed a gap in mine today before seeing this thread. What bothers me most is the creak/crack if I press a particular part of the screen. (Jump button in Cordy) .

The creak is absolutely annoying.
I think i may just buy a transformer and take the xoom back and save $400.
Sigh.
i have also noticed mine has started doing this...
I know mine has made this noise before but it comes and goes. Its a bit annoying but doesn't seem to be consistently happening.

If you find the area, you won't be able to ignore it.
Try this: Go to the metal part on the left side where it starts below the volume/plastic, put your thumb on the edge and "pry" that area away from the glass (towards the back) report back with noise.

Turns out it didn't matter. I ended up taking my wifi xoom back and exchanged it for another one. My original started showing dust under the screen! Looked on here and seems to be one of many occurrences...

Nice, my power button only works 1/3 of the time at the most, so it's likely getting exchanged anyway, maybe returned.
Same here creak/crack from left side,
My fingerprint/power button is slightly slanted. I was wondering if this is just me or not. The button is lifted slightly from one end.

There's a data ribbon on one side that holds it crooked like that. this has already been brought up and pretty much all of them are like that (as far as I know) so I wouldn't be concerned about it.

Crooked here as well. The first atrix I had seemed to be straight though. Kind of annoying. Also one side of the screen is slightly lower than the other.

Same for me. I had to return my first atrix because of battery issues and it had a straight one but the one I have now is tilted. I don't really stare at it so no big deal to me. At least my battery is performing now.

To add to the build quality issues, I went through 3 units at the store an all had some degree of dust under the screen. I took the one with the least. I took a look at my cousin's unit the other day and it also had a couple of specs under the screen.

Define performing. Mine is still garbage compared to what it should be. That's the same reason I returned the first one.

okay at least im not the only one. a friend of mine thought it was a protective piece of plastic that needed to be peeled off at first. it looked too thick to be something like that so i tested it first to see if it would read my finger which it did so i left it on..
odd that motorola would place it like that
it is an inset reader attached to the board with a ribbon cable, as part of a button. Some sit slightly different than others, it is common on everything that has this type of multifunction setup.

id say its less a build quality issue and more a design issue, since the glass isnt glued to the screen. I have myself seen 3-4 atrix, all except one had either major dust or at least 1-2 specks.
and on top a software bug that scared the hell out of me, seeing dead and stuck pixels only in the CAMCORDER mode.
I should consider myself lucky then, no dust and my fingerprint/power button is straight. However, it is a refurbished phone (perhaps one that was returned by one of you!) so they might have taken a bit more care in reassembly. Who knows... Maybe it is best to buy second hand sometimes, or I'm just plain lucky

I have had four refurb atrixs and each one has had a straight fingerprint scanner. All of them at the stores I have seen are slanted. Seems the refurbs are a little nicer in that aspect

Same here ... a little slanted, but then again I hadn't really spent much time looking at the button before!
i never liked the button!!

I'm not getting any squeaky, quirky or "cracking" sounds on mine, it's very sturdy and tight. Maybe you got a slightly defect one. If it bothers you then you should obviously return it.

+1 - nothing like this on my a500, had it for nearly two months. Trade it in.
Make sure all corners are snapped firmly in place. Like others have said, just return it and get a replacement if there isn't any obvious fixes to your issue.
no creaks, squeaks or otherwise here, as others have posted, if you still have time, exchange it!
Thanks guys, good enough, I gonna replace it even though there is no gap and looks tight but something is wrong cuz every time I press it cracks like something is not snap tight.

I probably did get that one which you have returned. ;-) The same noises in the upper left corner. Unfortunately that is a big pain in the ass to replace something in Poland. BTW it is 530 USD to buy it here. Anyway is the new one free of that cracking sound??
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I have only seen 3-4 people complain about this so it seems to me that it's a very rare build defect, probably just a bad batch of plastic somewhere? Of course, what I have or haven't seen is just anecdotal evidence, but I'd feel returning it and getting another one should have quite good chances of actually getting one of the good samples

Mine squeaks ever so slightly at the top part if pressed too. It doesn't really bother me. I have a squeaky Thinkpad x220 that nonetheless is as strong as a tank. You can always find faults on these products, I have a feeling if I get mine exchanged for such a small thing I'll end up with a new device with something else to be bothered about.

You'll kick yourself if the replacement comes back with an even worse problem. Like dead pixels/bad screen tint.
Not in HK,,, i went to the store and open at least 2 units to choose....and of course full test ...
Got it replaced ...with aperfect one. but it probably squake again after a while....after some stress on my pants...hehehe
Anyone experience otherwise?

Just noticed bezel near volume rocker is squeaking, n I hate it.
Mines squeaks too, but it's more of the back cover than the bezel.
Might be the way the cover is designed, after a few openings, it deforms slightly?

Guy the top bezel is squeaking because of that feature in the movement settings.. The double tap on the top of the phone makes you come back at the top of the list of your contacts for example.
Try to enable that feature and press two times the bezel that is squeaking.
It wasn't like this in my gs3,but it's more sensitive now.
But this squeaking is a physicsl defect...???

I completely agree. There is no such thing as a perfect device. Everything has an error here or there. So if there is no real problem then be happy I'd exchange mine for problems with the screen or camera. Buttons too. But because it squeaks a little? I'd say forget about it. But that's just me. It's a premier device and you deserve to be satisfied. if you're not satisfied then I'd suggest getting another.

Being a long time Blackberry user in the past device squeaks were very common.
A couple months after release a daring owner would take it apart find squeak post fix in forums.
I expect the same will happen with this device.
I'm picking up Sprint Version on Thursday , If it squeaks I will post fix
Hi guys, I've had my new toy for a couple of days, flashed ics rom and root is running like a dream... And I'm really pleased. A step up from my last tab 8.9. However I noticed that at the top left corner there is a tiny bit of play (movement) between the screen and the aluminium casing (if I press down on the screen) . I'm talking maybe 0.5mm or less... But the other corners are solid. Also if I press the casing just below the g of the Samsung logo, pushing the casing against the screen, then there is also a tiny bit of play there too. Is this common? Or could my "used like new" purchase from Amazon have had a screen or battery replaced?
Otherwise the condition is perfect so I should probably shut up and stop complaining!!

I've definitely got this too on mine which I bought brand new about a month ago. Bottom right hand corner clicks when pressed, doesn't bother me much but should be covered under warranty. For the record I've dropped mine a few times, nothing major but could explain the problem.

This is a common problem, something to do with the clip design and it is on all 4 corners. Even after you have fixed it, it will come back in due time so I stop thinking about it.
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing the same issue with my tab, albeit a bit worse -- there is a slight screen lift at the left side near the SIM slot. It doesn't bother me that much but considering that this is a premium device, I would've expected better quality...
