If they pull that with me, I'm not allowing it. I will continue calling and asking to talk to supervisors until they agree. I shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes. This is the kind of corporate greed that makes me angry.

That can't be good. I guess I'll just keep exchanging until I get a "perfect" one then before my 14day window to exchange expires from J&R.
FINALLY returned my horribly lifting screen WITH dead pixel AND previously opened and resealed box. Filed a BBB report on Google.
Got a new one in the mail from OfficeMax........ANOTHER SCREEN ISSUE! Though its barely with zero dead pixels......its still not perfect. I'm returning units until I get a 100% perfect product.
I didn't buy a NEW tablet to have issues with it.

Well I just picked up a replacement, it doesn't have a raised screen but it's flush with the rim on the left, instead of being slightly recessed like it is on the right. So I know it's probably a faulty one. I think I may keep it and RMA it down the line when the manufacturing problem has been sorted. I think every single N7 in this first batch has the screen problem already, or it is just waiting to develop.
Im starting to think this too and yours is EXACTLY like mine. If you dont have a laundry list of messed up issues......you maybe lucky LOL
Mine is perfect! I ordered it in June and got it on the 17th and couldn't be happier with the product.

Mine was perfect in every way apart from not being able to take a charge.
Well, it did take a 1% charge when left on charge for 8 hours overnight.
Off charge the power dropped like a stone, even when switched off.
Replacement unit is expected any time today.
If that's also defective I'll have a refund and wait for the manufacturing defects to be ironed out before buying another.
By that time the competition may have caught up.

Bought mine at Staples. I have the backlight bleeding issue on the left side of the screen. I have noticed that it is mainly only noticeable in certain apps when my screen brightness is set to very low. If the screen is set to a higher brightness level, I don't notice the bleeding. When the brightness is set to low, I've noticed the bleeding is mostly noticeable when I have a blank tab open in chrome. If you want to check for bleeding, I'd suggest setting your brightness to as low as possible and opening a blank tab to see if you notice it. Seems to be easiest to spot on a white background.
I hope the current batch is good since I just started an exchange at J&R where I bought mine. Mine was only lift about 1mm on the left and there was flickering which was noticeable on white backgrounds.
I wish I hadn't read about screen lifting after really looking at it I notice a hairs width of screen but I have a two year warranty so I will just wait and see if it actually gets noticeable before I send it off to be fixed.

i guess my case is the rare ones other than the screen lifting, dead pixel and light bleeding..the power button is really sensitive and it does not have the solid clicking feel that the volume rocker has..i think the button was not placed properly..and i also have dust under the screen which is not obvious but noticeable under bright color screen

Soooooo everyone should just be happy with their defective N7's because a product working 100% the way it is supposed to is too much to ask for?
I pre-ordered mine from the Play Store on the 28th with the case. I have received no word or email or nothing yet on when/if mine is being shipped. Not a peep. Though it does bring a tiny sparkle to my eye to see all the people that bashed Google just because Gamestop was giving them out so early, only for so many of the GameStop ones to have issues thus far.
I hope mine is flawless. If it has lightbleed issues, Ill return it depending on how severe. If it has flickering issues, those wont bother me unless it is severe and happening with just about every page refresh etc. If mine has a little separation from the back of the device, I'll first try to push it back in place, if that doesn't work, I will throw my cover on there and see if that helps with the issue. If not and the squeaking becomes a nuissance from just normal use rather than being a very very occasional thing, I'd probably return it.
For me it all depends on the severity of the issue I may encounter if it is worth the trouble of having it replaced.
But my original point: It is not unreasonable for every single person that ordered a Nexus 7 to have a completely defect-free device.
So your "not everyone or everything is perfect!" argument is just flawed and invalid.3
Take my advice. If everything else is working properly, keep it. It's not worth nitpicking over something like this and then getting another unit with worse problems. You'll regret it.3
The problem seemed to be getting worse today but after hearing it's just a clip (not glue) - I resorted to force.
I needed to put quite a bit of pressure (more than seems safe) to do it, but it has properly clicked back into place now.
Smooth the side back into place then pinch it firmly with your thumb and forefinger in the middle of your 'rise'.
(turn your screen off if you're squeamish - you will hear a loud click when it goes back in)
DEFINITELY FIXED :good:
WARNING: THIS CAN BREAK YOUR SCREEN
For clarity, I didn't have any dents in the bezel. Try to spread any pressure on the screen side. Pinch the bezel together, not the lcd panel.
Your problem might be different to mine, so try this at your own risk.
32They may have had a flaky bunch initially, but my personal theory is that these defects are occurring because it's been so hot this summer (at least in the us). Just hear me out out on this one: they put your pristine N7 in the back of xyz shipping truck, which then promptly heats up to over 100 degrees in the summer sun. At that temp, the metal starts expanding, the glue softens, you get a timely bump in the road, and BAM you have a damaged device. That seems plausible, at least to me. Another thing to worry about, as my N7 is coming fro. CALIFORNIA into the hot south.
