What about when you put the laptop in a bag with some other things in it? Isn't it the case that sometimes the laptop's screen is pressed onto the keyboard?

Possibly, equally the rMB is pretty rigid, when I travel, I have a lot of other gear in the bag, up to and including a second notebook. rMB KB definitely picks up the oil from the fingers more than my previous Mac`s all the same no marking of the display panel.
The seal on my rMB is definitely far more stiff than on my 13" & 15" rMBP`s so I imagine it would take more force to compress it. I just think it is, what it is an assembly issue at manufacture. Frankly it happens with all mass produced items and Apple is clearly not immune.
At first I was a little apprehensive of the rMB, however I now just treat it like any other Mac I have owned, after 12 month of use it`s been fine, actually it`s turned out to be one of the best Mac`s I have used, although a little more travel and or improved dampening in the KB wouldn't hurt
Q-6.

After three times in a row; I worry. Nonetheless, others have had more luck so might as well try it. If you order online you should have enough time to return it (two weeks period, I believe).
Well, my Rmbp, the AR came off two screens so far and I am on the third. Apple is aware of this defect, and they have happily changed it twice for me, but i hope it doesn't happen again
