anyone else notice the loose side?

[eallan]

Mine has a very little give if I press my lower right corner also. I wouldn't notice it though if I had not checked all my corners for looseness after reading this thread. Not an issue at all, its not like I would press the corner in that hard anyway. I think the xoom has the best build quality out of all the android tablets. I played with the Acer tablet at best buy today and I thought it looked and felt cheap and plasticky compared to the xoom.

I'm hoping the samsung tablet feels solid.

Mine is loose also, so is the small piece of plastic that covers the speaker and camera.

i noticed this today on the left side when pressing on the screen lightly, no harder than holding it in my left hand. It appears that the creaking comes from the lip of the back cover rubbing against the plastic linning that surrounds the screen. I can even see some movement of about half a milimetre.

I'm going to return mine for repair/replacement under warranty but I'm in Australia so its going to take a while for the round trip to the US and back. I guess that it was one of the first batches cause I got it preordered. Hopefully Moto fixed this defect in the more recent models.

I just noticed this on mine. I got my Xoom on the 10th and I am fairly confident that this is happening on all Xooms. Some people probably just don't notice it, it is kind of subtle. But then once you've noticed it, you'll hear it every time it flexes and creaks. It is really sad that the build quality is so poor considering how expensive this tablet is.

mine started creaking after 8 months -.-

mine creaked for a long time, but I had a separate issue that required them sending me a replacement device.

no issues yet on my replacement device.
