Creases in the upper corners of your screen on the black portion of the glass.

It is only noticeable with a light source shining from behind you. You may have to tilt your screen to see it.

It's almost like taking a clear piece of plastic and folding it. It has that effect. You can't feel it, and you really can't see it unless you have a light source behind you.

I found the following thread by googling it. It seems that a few others have this issue. Do you?

"Admit"??? - these are public forums, not Apple Support/PR/Media.

<perhaps> (like me), readers so far have no experience of the issue you are talking about....

My 13" 2011 MBP has similar reflection distortion in the black border of the screen....I think it is just how screens of that type are made, of course the Retina screen goes to the edge more....

Really don't think it is a fault....

Yes I do have that same issue.

However it's the third replacement Apple has sent me due to various significant issues confirmed at the Genius Bar. Frankly I'm tired of burning up so much time and frustration simply trying get what I paid for. A new computer that hasn't been molested.

Really? I never saw this issue until the retina models came out. In fact, I haven't heard of anyone else even mentioning the creases until the retina release.
