How good are the rubber feet

[John585]

When I open my glassbook from just the display the whole computer seems to slide back and the rubber feet don't seem to grip the desk that well. Anyone else having this problem when they open the lid?

You better check that your glassbook is standing on 3 feets or 4 feets. Because I've found my glassbook is only standing on 3 feets. That means the whole body is twisted. If you know what I mean .............

Or it could mean one of the feet is too short.

No, I don't think so. The body is twisted. I have to use big force to twist it back to normal. Lucky enough, I don't break it into 2 pieces

Now it is standing firm on 4 feets


PS: The QC of Apple is such a nightmare

mine has the same problem.
i dont think it has to do with a twisted body or uneven feet...i think the rubber just sucks

they seem awfully smooth and dont offer much friction

The feet aren't rubber. They are a semi flexible plastic. That means they wear well and don't fall off, but they don't exactly grip very well. You can buy stick on rubber feet to supplement the stock ones.

It has feet.

I use two hands to open my computer. Never noticed a single problem.

2 feet are on the battery cover so if that isn't 100% flat, that can cause it to rock a little.

this has been pissing me off more and more these past few days...
is this even a widespread problem?

 

[MikeHowardSays]

I have the same problem. The feet are made of plastic, not rubber, resulting in my Mac doing a lot of sliding around on my desk. Any ideas?

But what about it's hands. :]

 

[Carnivor]

could you try different rolls of vinyl etc, and cover your desk in it? Like a complete desk mousemat???

 

[dannn]

ive found that this heavily depends on the surface texture of your table

the 2 desks i have at my apartment seem to not grip the feet so well

now im home, and im using it on a wooden desk that's gripping it better
