Was your Nexus 7 defective or in Perfect condition?

Got it today. LOVE IT!

Although there's a slight problem. On the middle of the left side (on the edge) the glass isn't really on all the way. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't read so many stories about it on this forum. It's barely raised and when you touch it's kind of "clicky" when obviously it shouldn't be.

I'm probably gonna have to send it back, I'm just gonna wait a little because I waited so long to get this thing and with the way Google has been shipping it would take too long. I figure I could wait a few weeks.

Staples, 16GB. Left side isn't glued absolutely perfectly but in my case it's extremely minor. Ever so slight glue release click over an inch or so of the left just above midpoint if I push down. I'll live with it for a week and see if it gets worse. If not, I'm calling it good. I would absolutely never have noticed it without this forum mention of it.

This is literally my exact situation. Same spot and everything.

mine had a blown speaker (distorts above 60%) and a screen defect I haven't heard about anywhere else. There's finger width abrasion down the middle of the screen about 2 inches long. It's only visible when the screen is not perfectly clean. I only notice it because finger prints makes it stand out. I'm exchanging it at my first opportunity. The only problem is no store in the Toronto area can hold stock..

Just got my Nexus Today. Everything is great except for that I am experiencing some of the screen lifting on left middle edge of the screen. I pushed it down and haven't had an issue since. Hopefully it doesn't pop back up.

Should I be safe and send it back for a different one?

16GB from the US Play Store, no issues

I also just got my 8gb nexus 7 today. Everything is pretty much perfect, except for a little raised edge, which clicks when I press on it. It's really not that big of a deal though since it doesn't effect he user experience.

Mine has the screen lift on the left side also. When people say they wouldn't have noticed it without knowing what to look for i totally agree. I've clamped it to see if it'll hold afterwards. It's VERY minor. If I were sure it would not get worse I would ignore it.

Almost perfect so far! I have a 16GB from Staples. I have had the keyboard go unresponsive after playing a game. Turning it on and off clears the problem. I suspect an update will be in the works.

The same thing, so far I was thinking that mine is perfect and that this thread was about devices that were seriously defect.

I have the exact same protruding screen on the left edge, but mine doesn't make a click noise or so. If I try to push it, it just goes down crackling lightly. I mean its very dicey. How do I get it replaced to get a complete peace of mind !

Mine hasn't left the house yet, but it's perfectly fine so far. 8GB pre-ordered from the Play Store.

16gb from Staples about 10 days ago. No pre order, just walked in. Slight screen lift on the left center part which seems to be getting worse and worse. slight image burns and ghosting issues. Washed out colors which seems to get better after 10 mins of warming up. Its quite a shame since I have really come to love this tablet and jellybean. 4 more days of waiting before the 14 days return policy time expires on me. Waiting on Staples but seems like they won't have any by then so just gonna return this and wait a good month or so before I'm completely sure most of these tablets don't have these issues anymore and then order another one.

Same problem with the left side of the Screen. No protrusions but it does make a slight clicking sound. I will live with it considering so many other people are experiencing this and other problems, I rather not chance getting a worse unit.

1st Nexus 7 16gig from the UK Play store had screen lift on the left. That was RMAed but the replacement has screen lift on the top right. Not particularly raised but clicks when pressed. Gonna leave it a week or two in the hope screen lift is resolved and then RMA again.

16gb from Google! None of the common issues seem present on this one.

2 16 gb.
One was perfect, and the other, right by the volume rockers the case itself feels off.. I'll get a picture and try to fix it. Its going in a case so I'm not sure its an issue. Fully functional though.

16GB Model purchased from a local Staples a week ago today. Left side of screen is coming up a little, and I'm not thrilled by the color/display.

However, I LOVE this thing, and don't want to be without it! I guess I should return it though...
