Not impressed...

...with the build quality. :mad:

Put my nice, shiney, new tablet S into my work laptop bag this morning, with nothing else in the laptop compartment and when removing it noticed what I thought was a smudge across the top of the black plastic (the curved edge just above the screen). Low and behold where the tablet had slight movement against the 'fabric' of the laptop compartment (this is a padded, soft material specifically for holding laptops), the plastic has worn away! The material of the laptop compartment has actually rubbed the plastic away, removing some of the nodules and worn the plastic down in a strip across the length of the top!

For £399 I'm not impressed with SONY's choice of materials, as this is clearly poor quality were the structure can literally be worn away by fabric! :mad:

I'm going to try take this back I think, as this is unacceptable in my eyes and such poor materials for this price in not on.

Please fellow owners, take this as a warning and purchase some protection, as clearly SONY haven't bothered with the quality control aspect of this tablet. :eek:

This seems very strange, I have mine in a GIMP case (made of 'fabric') and it is fine. I would take it back and see if it was a dodgy one, or make sure the fabric is not infact sand-paper ;)

I suspect grit in the bag. I throw mine in a fabric satchel, along with a slew of other stuff, to take it back and forth from work. No damage has shown up yet.
