Yes, I had a dead area on the screen and other areas where it would suddenly drop. I took off the screen protector and that fixed most of them but I still had a problem near the right edge. I was drawing scribbles over a memo to take to AT&T to show them the problem. Then I realized the dead area was exactly where the magnetic catch was on my wallet type cover. TA DAAA, I removed the magnet, replaced it with thin velcro and haven't had any more issues. I hope your screen problems are that type of an easy fix.
