of course "some" but it seems the build quality is bad?

I had 3 faulty iPhone 4's on release, every product will have bad batches.

The screen raise issue is actually nothing to do with glue. It's held in by a number of screws.

Some people tightened the screws up which applied a temporary fix, but the issue soon came back.

Yeah I tightened my screws last night and thought it was sorted. Sadly not. I couldn't figure out why the screen was loose again this morning. I figured it must be glue... Unless the screws were over tightened at the factory and stripped the thread?

Returning stuff to Google already looks fun. Don't make me phone that Irish number!

Reading the XDA defects thread makes for depressing reading.

Has anyone got a N7 that is fault free?

Still waiting for my 8GB order from Play Store.

Plenty of us, day2 and still no sign of any screen raise or any of these issues posted.

The build quality of mine is fantastic by the way. Amongst all this negativity and defect hunting those with good units don't seem to be heard on just how good this unit feels, fantastic choice on materials.

It doesn't seem great at the moment, though the issues are perhaps being exaggerated by some people. *cough* Tom_D *cough*

And yet it was Tom who recieved a defect unit

o the irony after complaining and moaning lol

Yep, totally fault free apart from my non-centered sticker.

Good call, imho, a partial thread strip could explain the slow uncorrecting of the fixes.

I've had mine for almost a week now. No raised screen or any issues at all. It's perfectly well made.

Me and thousands of others it seems. I was fully expecting to get a defective unit.

Tom to me seems way too intent on destruction of this great tablets reputation to not be a troll in my opinion. At this point I'm questioning whether he ever got one of these tablets at all.

Just saw this posted on XDADev, might be of interest to those still waiting.

Do you want to see my refund receipt?

I said I loved the tablet for the short time I used it.

I'm also getting WiFi dropouts to go with my screen issues. Terrific.

Unboxed mine in <30seconds, don't see what the big deal is with the box being difficult?

If you loved the tablet you would do what any reasonable person would do when taking something they love that is faulty back to the store, order a replacement.

I admit the fault % of this item does seem higher then it should be, however despite that those with faults are still the minority. Like with anything else those with faults will talk about it and those without will just say nothing and continue to use the item trouble free.
