ibook lid doesn't close tightly

This is on a new 14" 900 mhz ibook. I never really noticed until last night. When the ibook is shut, the lid clicks closed, but there is still a little gap; the lid is not flush up against the base. When I press on the lid, it gives a little bit (until it is flush) and then rebounds to it's former state when I release it.

If I carry it around under one arm I can hear a soft clicking sound from the lid moving.

I assume this is a defect and not intened; my old ibook 12" never did this. So the question is, what can be done about it? Is the only option repair? I don't really want to part with my baby for a few days for such a minor issue, but it is annoying. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

 

hmm, how interesting that it's a common issue. It's just considered normal?
