My screen in the top left-hand corner is lifted from the black bezel and not flush like the rest of the corners. It also moves when I press down on it. Is this happening with anyone else? Should I bother getting an exchange?
 
My thin black plastic bezel ring is a tiny bit higher on the right side than the left. If you run your finger over the edge you can feel it catch a bit. No biggie. The case I get will cover it anyways.

Why would you even consider keeping a faulty one? I'd be taking it straight back.
 
I was planning on keeping it because it wasn't a big deal, but then I noticed that the fact the screen isn't flush causes an inch long light leak. Really distracting. Looks like I'm going to have to take it back.

Relax. My 3G iPT has had this since day one. And i even sent it to apple-- It's perfectly fine.

Uh, I wasn't complaining, just stating a fact. The light leak is distracting enough that I plan on exchanging the device. No biggie.

Yep, had that problem and got the iPod replaced today... Only to find the new one has the same thing!!! Ugh.

I pretty much spent the day today tracking down a replacement iPod because of this problem. I looked at the iPods on display at the Apple store and noticed that roughly half of them have the same issue.

BUT the clicking sound that I had during video/audio recording with the wifi on seems to be eliminated in the replacement.

After spending most of the day on the road, I think I'm going to live with it for a while. It it gets worse I will replace it. My method of thinking is that maybe if I wait a few weeks the quality control will get better?
