Hi there!

Is anyone here having problem with the left and right side of the screen? When I slide my finger on the screen to the outside of the phone then I feel under my fingertip that the screen is a little bit under the body and with my fingertip I hook up some plastic part which seems to be between screen and aluminum body.
I hope I explained the problem

Anyone with the same issue? Is this a hardware issue or just stupidity of the HTC engineers?

Have you thought that this may have been done by design?
For those that put their phone screen down the screen is slightly raised off the surface thus not getting scratched......

mine is the same... i believe it's the design so you don't scratch the screen when it is face down

I prefer not putting the phone down the screen rather then having this unconformable feeling when I move finger on the screen...

Solution: Get like 3 or 4 screen protectors and lay them all on top of the screen at once. The thickness should bring them in line with the plastic rim and your fingers will no longer have to suffer the horrific feeling of a 0.2mm plastic ridge

My physical glass/plastic screen seems to be stuck further down on the top left and bottom right corners making it slant upwards to the other corners. I push the top right down and it seems to feel loose.

Is this what your issue is? because this is whats happening with mine.

I think it's by design too, it's not a problem unless you make it one.

Maybe this was the reason they did it?
