when holding my transformer in landscape the left side around the middle to bottom part the area feels depress in when moving if you push down the panel goes in. It also happened with my old one before i exchanged it for a new transformer since the old one had bad light bleed.
You will need to get used to it. I think most people's TF has slight creaks and movements when pushing down on the sides.
mine is starting to do it too. it was tight on day 1. my first tf started to separate on the lower left and right corners after 10 days.
Mine's like that on the right side. I'm hoping it doesn't come apart or I can just superglue it down.
maybe from all the damn PUSHING and pressing, trying to make the damn thing squeak..
lol
jk.
Nothing here thats noticeable, but then again, this is like dating a girl...you overlook some blemishes, some flaws, because she so damn sexy, and she so damn new.
actually mine poped while i was holding it one handed. then it got squishy on the left right under the voulume buttons.
Mine is on the right side,and i'm getting used to it.
Since this is the first time i purchase an asus product,this gives a bad impression.
Mine is on the lower left corner.
Nothing worth worrying about.

yeah i have had mine almost a week now i noticed it after i removed that plastic screen thing that was on the back of the screen.
it seems kinda cheap feeling when i push down on the screen and i hear it sweak and move every time. should i take it back?
Mine started sqeaking and creaking today. NOOOOO!
I only had it for 2 days. I kept the plastic on the back of the screen and it still does this by the way. Its too awesome of a phone for this litte stuff to bother me though. I came from a Touch Dual that had a solid keyboard for a little over a year before it became wobbly and squeky before it final died. So I imagine its better sooner than latter cause you just adapt the longer you use it.
My 2 Cents,

I had the same problem the first day I got mine. I'm still trying to figure out a way to keep it from squeaking/creaking. Honestly it's just annoying right now. My TYTN II was a brick compared to this phone as far as size and weight. If I figure anything out I'll post it up.
The only idea I've had so far is to take one of my old Palm screen shields and use it on the back of the screen. However since I ordered a Zagg full body protector I think I actually might get that piece with the set. Like I said I'll post up when I got more info.
try adding a little strip of adhesive felt to the upper part of the chin (where it meets the screen when closed). Works for me. Actually, if you want to test this out or cant find the felt, take three post it notes(together for the right thickness), cut them down, black out with a magic marker, and you'll get the same effect. Barely noticable.
yes mines loose too you feel it when you only hold the bottom and tap the screen u here the screen and the body click.

Maybe you're pressing too hard? Mine creaks if I really press down hard.
On my wing, I had to press down hard, it's built for a stylus.
But this device is built for your fingers, and should respond with a very light touch. Try using it with barely touching it, if it doesn't respond try pressing a tiny bit harder, you should not have to push down hard enough to make the screen creak -- unless the screen is badly attached, in which case I would take it back to the store.
this is what happens when HTC wants a thin, light phone with a hardware qwerty
it doesnt bother me much though
Okay so I was trying to clean out the dirt in the sides of my phone (the area between the screen and cradle) and noticed that the screen was ever so slightly left and top aligned than centered. In other words, there was less space between the screen and the cradle on the left and the top than there were on the right and the bottom. Not really a big deal, but a sign of poor manufacturing.
Anyone else have this on their phone?
Glad I'm not the only one with that problem, the right side of my screen has a little gap with the bezel, not much, but dust has gotten in there. I'm wondering if I should exchange it and try to get a more perfectly aligned model.
looks like the phone was rush to market with out proper QC

I am thinking about an exchange too, but am waiting for two things:
1) A case and SP to come in to prevent this from happening again
2) To see if this is a common problem
Surprisingly, I think this phone has actually one of the better shields between glass and bezel. I went through COUNTLESS (literally probably 10) Nexus One's with dust under screen (some had failed power button too). Next, the Vibrant was ok, but the following phone, my MyTouch 4G...oh man. Again, went through 5 of them all due to being shipped with multiple specs of dust under the screen. My Nexus S isn't perfect but at least this first one is decent.
One thing I learned..trading in one phone for another can bring unwanted problems. Others are complaining about home/back buttons on the side not working, others say GPS is an issue. You never know what you'll get, so be ready. I don't know how keen Best Buy is on swapping a few phones either.
In my experience though, HTC has far worse QC than Samsung (including the crappy HTC tinny speaker). Ugh, don't get me started on that.

i think you can always go to the store and check, i am sure you will find another one that doesnt have this problem as it seems to me its a manificaturing issue where it screen wasnt placed properly.
not a big deal but for an OCD guy like me. i wont be able to sleep at night till i get a better one lol
Mine looks to be centered, I can't see a difference between the left/right side.
Mine is not off center. But I do have some "lift" on the upper right hand corner (next to the ffc). I can press it down with a little play. Basically it doesn't sit completely flush with the bezel. It's not super noticeable. However the other three corners are fine. Not a biggie but it is noticeable.

heh just noticed that now that you said it, but im gonna go with saying that the NS isnt the only phone to ever have that problem, lol
Buddies NS does the same thing , againt not noticeable, just dont be prying out out with your fingernail
I had a heck of a time with my Vibrant and a creaky bezel and am pretty happy with the solid construction of the NS so far.
Do me a favor and tap around your bezel with your finger and tell me if you get a different pitched sound from the area around the power button than from the rest of the bezel. I am just curious if that is normal or if I have a bezel that will eventually get loose over time.
Thanks!
My bezzle near the power button is fine, however, I can hear a click and creaking from the bottom of the phone, next to the USB port, opposite side of the headphone jack. Whenever I press down lightly (like if I were to pick up the phone holding the top and bottom) I can create the sound.
Bummer.

Nitpicky? I just spent $529 + tax, I would like to be sure I don't have a hardware problem. I had a slight issue like this with my Vibrant that turned into a larger problem later. I am simply trying to nip it in the bud.
Thanks for the constructive feedback!

same issue on mine. It turns out that it's just the battery cover, not the actual bottom bezel. When I remove the cover, no creakiness anymore. only option really is to buy a new battery cover when they appear online and see if it still creaks.

Sorry man! I spent the same amount of money too and I don't have this problem! If it doesn't meet your standards then by all means take it back!
I found the issue. The black bezel does in fact move independently of the inside plastic body/structure. It actually moved when pressed on but so little you would not think so. I took the battery cover off and looked and it presses in until it contacts the interior area giving it a place to push against.
I pick up my friends iPhone 4 and realize there is a company who makes quality products!
Yeah, I've got the creak on the bottom of mine as well. It's honestly not something that I'm all that worried about. That's the location that I most usually have a finger there, supporting the device, so I figure that with use it's going to start seeing some kind of wear.
Now, if the screen were to have had some issues, then that would be something different.
I get the creak at the bottom where the USB port is but I also get a creak when I touch the upper right hand corner near the front facing camera. It kind of feels like I'm pushing the corner in.

Does anyone's transformer feel lose in the lower right corner (where the clock it)?
when i squeeze the corner, it sort of "pops" like the tab is broken or not flush.
i tried to call asus but the phone number doesnt work???
1-888-678-3688
I am in the US. I got the number from http://service.asus.com/callus.html
What is the return policy of the retailer you bought it from? If you are not satisfied, I'd suggest exploring that.
Bye.
finally got the number to work, OMG, LONG HOLD for 7am EST
Let me know how it goes. I have the same problem.
mines is like that in the top left where thew volume button etc is but i can live with it
Mine creaks and flexes in the upper right corner area, but I only notice it when I hold it with one hand in that area (not often). Sucks that it's not flawless, but I figured there'd be a few things off at this price point, and luckily this is the only thing so far for me.
Yes, please let us know how it goes because mine is loose on the bottom right corner too. I've concidered just crazy gluing it because I figure its not really a defect since it doesn't directly affect the device.
I get the feeling that the edges of the plastic backing are "floating" and the mounts are farther in because around the edges I can feel the backing flex but the bezel is rigid. Im thinking the plastic backing is just a cover and doesnt provide anything structurally.
Just got mine today and the whole right side is movable to a rather high degree. Gonna see if I can get a replacement since it is a little more than what I am comfortable with.

I have the exact same problem. Its not worth the hasstle of getting it repaired.
I had the same issue on the left top where the volume and power buttons are. I fixed it by applying pressure with my fingers. there has to be a plasic tab or something cheap that holds it in.I know people got it open by running a guitar pick around the bezel.just try and push the edge thats loose till the tab catches it. be careful!
I also noticed that the plastic "bracket" around the rim of the device is loose on the lower right corner very shortly after I got it. Its a little disapointing, but honestly I forgot about it untill just now when I saw the title for this post, so as long as it doesn't get worse I don't really mind.
I wish mine was just that. I can actually look inside mine while holding with a decent grip if I don't have my MicroSD in. Oh well, Amazon said they will replace it when they are back in stock.

I and my brother have the same problem, on the left side of tablet, half way down from the top. Mine is not too bad, my brother's is pretty noticeable. He feels it isn't worth returning it, but it's definitely there. As much as I love this thing, I gotta say, quality control on this is horrendous. I expect much more from Asus.
.... Had they not read about it here....
I know I wouldn't have.... It's so insignificant, it's hilarious how people are getting upset over it....
On the iPhone4 "no reception if you hold it wrong" scale, it's not even registering.....
Its actually pretty easy to spot and noticeable. All you have to do is look on each side to notice the left side is raised and out of the bezel. Some cases are more severe. Others extremely minor. Even though its minor. It could cause an issue down the line with it raising up.

You'd have noticed it because it gets worse over time. I got two 16gb N7's last week and didn't notice the screen lift until the "change wallpaper" UI popped up a few times when I was just holding it. I looked closer and saw that only the center few inches on the left side were above the bezel. Pushing in on it you could see the screen go down and pop back and it would act on the screen like a finger hold on that side.
I checked the second one I was setting up for my mother and I could see the exact same behavior and issue in just the middle couple inches.
I decided that I would give it a week on mine and see how it reacted before I decided to RMA or not. The one I used got steadily worse over the week. by the end of the week it was making a noticeable creaking sound when gripping it from the left and eventually a popping noise. The raise has extended to almost the entire left side bezel. I called for an RMA and when I was packing them up I took out the one that hadn't been used and you could literally barely see the issue, but if it'd been used I'm sure it would have gotten worse.
I don't know how anyone calls this a non-issue. It's a $250 piece of electronics you're buying brand new. It shouldn't be shoddy. I bought this based on the glowing reviews of the build quality. It's not there. I'm getting two new ones, and if they have even minimal screen lift they're going back for a refund and I'm waiting a few months until google gets this sorted.
I noticed mine before coming on here to see if others had the same issue.
As soon as it happened

I didn't notice it at first admittedly. I read it online whilst at work and thought "I'm glad I don't have that"... til I went home and realised I actually did!
I checked online again and true enough, I had the issue, which has gotten worse. It's now creaking every time I press on the screen in a certain area.
I ordered a replacement which had the same issue. Currently waiting for replacement #2. It's not so insignificant when you have the issue repeatedly with a device you've spent your hard-earned money on, believe me.
I noticed it right away, then did a quick search to find that others were having the same problem.
I think it would have been noticed by many as a result of the squishy feeling and/or clicking that results on the left side.
