Yes I have had 2, both with problems, first one had screen lift plus when you touched the bottom left of screen it looked like when you press an LCD with your finger, the second one has an auto brightness problem that completely blanks the screen so you can't see anything, if you put the brightness slider down to the last 3rd the screen goes off completely, not very good QC.

My Nexus7 is fine, no screen lift, no crackling speaker.. absolutely no problems.
Apparently you can now read (but not write) to usb devices without root using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer

I've ordered a Playbook instead - preferred the screen when I tested in the shop - speakers seem better and the audio chipset (Wolfson WM8993) is meant to be good
much cheaper, but I'm going to use for only audio and video playback, no apps etc

I've something similar, but I don't think it's just the right side. Generally it becomes very inconsistent generally (typing is next to impossible as only half the letters register) and is fine after a restart.
Rightly soo - even with the screen lift its miles better. If your real fussy then buy from Tesco and exchange until your happy - end of story.
I used a multi-touch app when this problem started happening, to see where the problem was.
Received mine on 20th July from google direct, will they still deal with me?
Going into Tesco once a week to replace my broken device is not something I should expect or consider acceptable when paying £200 for something.
I hope this drives Google to do better on the next tablet they make, rather than just drop the idea based on bad press.
I'm fairly certain ASUS wont be getting the contract for any more Nexus devices
Tesco have been excellent with regards to replacing my last 2. The second time (the one wth the chipped bezel) they offered to refund me £50 and keep the device or send out a replacement.
Just came across this on XDA:
DIY - DVD Case to nexus 7 / Tablet Stand
Made one in a couple of minutes, it's great!

Argos have a straight swap arranged for Tuesday.
Just tried it, works fine. Does it do the same with the stand alone app?
I don't have the stand alone app installed. Problem is not just BBC. I have ne sound for any Firefox Beta but all was well before update.

Yes they should swap it out for a new one under warranty. No need to deal with Asus RMA.
I was over my grace period and into my third week and they sent out a new Nexus the next day.
Only things I can suggest is to reinstall Firefox, and install the latest flash which was posted in the essential androids thread the other day.
