I have been delaying selling it because I want to be upfront about something strange, on the left side of the phone, the bezel can be pushed EVER so slightly down. It doesn't squeak, but you can see it move closer to the body of the phone.

It is only on the right side of the phone and everything functions normally. When the phone is on, you can see a tiny bit of light escaping from a SMALL gap between the microphone on the bottom and the bezel, which is probably the cause of this.

I've never dropped it, it works perfectly, and it still looks great, but how would I word this? I want to be transparent without making it sound broken! I probably never noticed it because I had a case on it, which would completely alleviate the problem for OCD people like me.

Do I say: If this bugs you, putting a case on it alleviates the problem?

I really do not want to mislead people because I would feel bad for forever, but at the same time, the phone is not broken. It just does this in the one corner and it's not like you can see into the internals of the phone since you can only notice it when you press down hard to make the bezel move a little closer to the body. You don't really feel the movement; you can only see it.

Some help would be very appreciated in this! Do you think this would hurt the value greatly?
