A simple fix LG should do

[Osbie]

Look, I'm happy with the phone - more than... So don't think of this as one of those useless "hey' it's not all metal" - (show me one that is,bub) threads.

One thing that has always struck me since i first saw the phone, was how they were gonna deal with the gap at the removable bat.. If it was a high-tech, high price, mil-spec environment, I could see that metal to metal being nothing. But the this being the consumer arena...no.
I'm not ********, I knew before i got it that that gap was gonna be there and feel scratchy.

Solution: A gasket.

I know LG wanted a one piece look to the G5 but that gap and its faint line are still there.
A semi-soft gasket would stiffen the grip of the plug-in.
Make the line more part of the "Design" than "Design flaw".
It would erase that scratchy edge of impossible alignment, the one that I think people interpret as a "cheap feel".
Not to mention, it would keep out all the finger crud I just know that's going to build up in there.

I know what you mean but i have 2 words for you that will make this a non issue....Phone Case.

Not serious (comparing phones made 25 years apart seldom is), but microTAC. (If you don't mind a phone that weighs enough to pants you.)

Thats is not a valid if you are not happy with the gap put a phone case on it. I agree LG could have done more my concern is when mine gets here is how bad does dust build up inside. If you live in a southwestern state you know what I am talking about dust everywhere you are outside lounging enjoying the fresh air outside and nice breeze comes through boom dust, second this is more on the funny not likely to happen but man that open bottom like that is great for spiders or another bug to make a home in if that phone is sitting on a table outside lol.... Anyways mine due to arrive Tuesday can't wait just praying no warping.
