ok i got it this morning but the micro usb part is SO loose so if i was gaming, it would fall out.
is this normal, design fault, or faulty unit?

Don't know what to tell you Funky - I purchased the one from Samsung and it seems to fit normally. There's a little bit of wiggle side-to-side (when looking at the screen); none up-and-down (when looking at the port directly); and it certainly won't fall out by itself.

Note that when I tried my heavy duty 12' HDMI cable it wouldn't work, so I went out and bought a cheap 6' HDMI cable and it works fine - YMMV.

If you ordered from Amazon, go to Your Orders. There should be a box that says Available Actions. Under that is the option to Return an Item. That should walk you down the right path to recovery. If it was an Amazon direct item, painless. If it was a 3rd party through Amazon, a little more time involved but they don't want a negative review so I've always been very successful with returns at Amazon.
