Any hardware issues (e.g. screen clicking/looseness)?

[slal]

I bought a 32gb metallic GTab 10.1 on Friday. I noticed some "clicking" noises when I press on the bezel by the speaker on the right side (when holding the tablet in the default way, camera on top).

I am not pressing excessively, just any sort of pressure causes a click. It occurs when I press the screen side but not on the plastic back side. I am worried about screen looseness and possible lift in the future.

I am considering exchanging it at Best Buy, but right now its pretty minor. Is anyone else noticing this or having a similar hardware issue?

I noticed that on the same spot but it doesn't always happen. I would pick it up and I hear a very faint click. I don't foresee it being a problem for me given that the tablet overall seems sturdy enough and I don't hear/feel anything loose. I cough it up to it being the nature of the plastic beast...in a manner of speaking.

However, if it's very noticeable and bothersome, then I would probably try to get it exchanged.

Mine is also occasional. Its not a defect, the one i played with at bb also does it. The build quality is amazing, but since its plastic, there must be some tiny empty space in that area and, well, plastic isnt perfect. But yea, mine does the same. If i dont think about it, i barely notice it.

Just tested mine....doesn't do that. Weird.

Mine is very sturdy and I haven't noticed any issues with build quality so far.

Mine is definitely sturdy, and there are no issues except this one very small click that bugs me. I worry that it could turn into something more, but I could overreacting a bit.

I thought mine was perfect then I read this... I cant hear it unless I turn the tv off and put my ear two inches from the tab. Nothing like my first asus ul30vt the clicked every time I rest my wrist to type.

I'd exchange it personally. I had a Droid with screen-clicking issues once. I just ignored it for a while, but somehow it went from that to a complete touchscreen failure. Not necessarily sure it'll happen here, but I wouldn't take the chance.

This isnt the screen thats clicking, its the bezel close to one of the little speakers.

Ahh. Well still, I'd exchange. Glass lift was an issue on some of the I/O Tabs; I wouldn't want to take the chance of having it develop on mine,
