I was doing some doodling today and noticed that when my Spen is hovered over the right side of the screen (see attachment) its aligned but when I lower it closer to the screen the pointer drifts off to the outermost edge of the screen sort of the same effect as if you had a magnet underneath that area. I was wondering it anyone else is having the same problem or if its only my device. It only does it if I am holding the S-pen slanted in the same way i have in the picture.
Edit: does the exact same on the left side if holding S-pen in a left slant
Fear not my brother, mine does it to.

Mine does that near all edges of the screen

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.
Hey guys,
There is a vertical area on the left side of screen that is about 1cm tall that feels 'rough' to the touch.
It doesn't feel all that bad, but it's not as smooth as the rest of the screen. My feeling is that the oleophobic coating is wearing off in that area, but it has only been a month.
Anyone else has this problem?

I see that search function worked well for you.

Can anyone tell me what the Nexus 7 proper screen height is? By this, I mean is the screen supposed to be flush with the bezel or in-layed into the bezel?
I'm curious because my screen is flush with the bezel at all 4 corners, but as you go to the center of the bezel on the outside of the tablet it is in-layed ever so slightly, no more than about the width of a few hairs.
Is this a defect/ sign of screen rise?
Note: The screen never rises above the bezel at any point on the device, thus far.
To give you an idea of what I'm talking about http://i.imgur.com/c7PNLbV.jpg
That's normal.

Are you using any flip case?

Another case of a case with a magnet.
That magnet distorts the magnetic fields that are being used by the WACOM digitizer (S-pen).
That's going to happen man. Another friend of mine was using his Note 3 with the S-View wallet case that he bought along with the device.
The alignment was perfect for the first few days (if there was any, he probably did not notice). Then from the third day on, the right side of the screen became somewhat unresponsive. Tried it out myself. The digitizer was being recognized but in the wrong places altogether.
He started using some TPU case from Spigen I think and the problem vanished in a jiffy. Try that out. It's not a problem with your device.
I have a similar issue and I'm not using a case at all. When close to the edges, the pointer moves a bit toward either edge. If I tilt the pen it does the same thing as OP's.
