I know this might be a little OCD but I think this compromises the water resistance. I know the phone is not rated but it does have some kind of splash resistance. As u can see in the picture. The left side has a gap but the right does not. Dust gets trapped in the gap. So I returned phone and now waiting for my replacement.

I woke up today to find this rub mark on my galaxy tab 7.7, it stretches from one side of the glass to almost the other! When i rub it with a cloth it goes away, but then it comes back in about 30mins. Does anyone know how to get rid of this or do I have to return my product. Its not the screen as the picture will indicate the mark covers the top right side of the bezel.

I do not know if I am helping but is there a screen protector on your tab? If there is, it might be your screen protector's problem. Hopefully this helps.
No screen protector
Picture isn't very clear or big.
Samsung tablets have been prone to "oil slick" problems, which are a manufacturer's defect.
Example of "oil slick:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orEJGB9r7OE WARNING: Loud noises on video.
When I get home from work I'll be able to snap a better picture of the mark.
Ok, here's an updated picture.
[update] again, let me reiterate: when i wipe down the marks they go away, but in time they return
Seems to be an issue with the glass (or better the manufacturing) as it also goes under the bezel. I would return it for guarantee.
try cleaning it with a mild soapy water if not have it replaced.
Yea it looks like the glass is detaching from the panel only in that area. Either the adhesive there isn't enough to hold it down or there could be a curvature in that area causing it to lift up. When you press it down the adhesive takes for a bit but eventually detaches again. Either way that's a manufacturing defect so you should definitely return it. It could eventually spread to the rest of the screen in time as it weakens the adhesive around the affected area.
yes you are right, I woke up this morning and what did I find but more lines, I called expansys.co.kr and they initially told me I would have to pay a fee for the lcd to be fixed, but since I told the rep its more a problem with the glass the rep told me she would get back to me later today about this issue.
thanks everyone for your input, I will update this thread when I get more info
If you look at a breakdown of the Tab 7.7 the battery is located on thats side. I had a problem once with my iphone that when it heated up the screen protector strated to warp with the heat. On cooldown and a wipe it would appear better.
This looks very similar to what I experienced it may be worth trying a different brand incase the glue used reacts more than normal to heat.
Also the treatment used on the screen is designed to resist fingerprints so it may also prevent the glue from adhering.
I use screen cleaner on my screen before fitting screen protectors. It may help.
So the thin plastic bezel all around the screen (not the larger bezel on side), it has small hairline crack above speaker (havent even dropped this new device) i know its not going to warranty because they say its physical damage, so how worried should i be?
As i understand to fix it i have to change screen for 200€. But my question is does it even matter? Is the bezel so well glued to the glass that the bezel is not going to drain out from behind the screen so it doesnt rlly matter?
I dont want to spend 200 for that if it doesnt matter.
Sorry for dumb question but its new device and wasnt that cheap.
Please guys confirm it for me so dont have to think about it.
I just got my note 4 from t-mobile shipped yesterday oct 13. The pictures shows it all. Not only do i have a gap that is only at the top and right side of the phone (which i can live with), the top right hand corner shows that the inner bezel scratched possible from applying that screen. I can live with the gap but not those scratches as the white phone bezel make it more noticeable. Sucks to get the runt of the new note 4s...
i wouldn't call that a "huge" gap, you can probably just slip a piece of paper in, but not anything thicker, same info posted by androidauthority and unbox therapy. how did you scratch it with a SP anyway? glass SP?
It just seems like the paint that used on the metal came off in those spots. As for the gap, it's no bigger than any other note 4, but I do agree that dust and other particles will get stuck in there over time.
same small gap on my phone but then it disappeared after i put on a case. Even without the case it doesn't really bother me that much because i didn't even notice it
You can scratch it if your removing bubbles
I don't think you have a gap issue at all. I'd be a ticked about the scratches though.
Those aren't scratches. Those are the antennas

trust me those are scratches from the paint peeling off the metal. Probably for poor installation.
This phone also had very loose volume rocker buttons.
Also the gap is way bigger than any of the 4 phones that shipped. ( had a total of 6 so...)
Ended up returning this one and one with a dead pixel/dust ball under the screen.
Got my two replacements from t-mobile. all is good.
Oh my bad. I was looking at the last picture you uploaded where it shows the cut out at the top left of the phone
So I was a idiot and pushed my luck by not putting a case on this thing cause videos had shown me it was very duriable..well watching a video with friends about how duriable it is, i had dropped it from literally 1 and a half feet, landed on its left corner and cracked from the volume button to the S in samsung, it doesnt look that deep or to even be a crack, at first i thought it was a scratch but it seems to.be a light scratch, so I was curious if it was still waterproof, like using in the shower or rain, or if it fell in the sink or if it fell in the bath tub. $200 to repair the screen is ridiculous.
bump? seriously wondering about this
It probably depends primarily on whether it went all the way through. If it didn't I'd think you're still waterproof. If it did, it still might be if it's holding tight enough, but obviously that's now a pathway in. Really hard to judge that without seeing the crack/scratch in person...and even then it's pretty tough to tell.
Guys
I kicked a ball at my Window the other day, Its now marked, do you think it will still be weather proof?
This thing that may be a scratch or crack, do you think it will still keep the cold out.
Just wondering what you thoughts are on my cracked screen.
(use your imagination if you want to see it)
I also have a hole in my Umbrella, You think it will leak?
it is late to reply, but I can suggest.
in Samsung phones, front and back glass are stuck to the phone by strong glue all over. now if your display is intact but has damaged glass, the display and glass are glued all together. even if your glass is broken badly, water can touch the OLED screen but can't cause any damage to display. still, the phone is water resistant. still, water can't penetrate inside the phone.
There's a almost 1mm wide gap between the front glass and the plastic frame, on the right side of the front. I can see the glue in between. Also the glue is visible just below the upper lip, above the earpiece. Is there any safe way to melt these back on? Its really getting on my nerves. I got the device in this state. Its new, but its just some manufacturing defect. Anybody have some thoughts?
