I've dropped mine a few times, and now I find that when the keyboard is put away (its in portrait mode) and I apply pressure to the top left there's a lot of movement between the screen and keyboard, it just feels like a bad quality thing when you press on the screen and it moves back a bit! anyone else had this?

it could be the fact that you dropped that has loosened the fixings?

That was what I was thinking, just wondred how common it was. my friends is also a bit loose, but when you slide the keyboard half way, its not loose at all, so maybe there's always been a sligh gap to compensate for the fact that the keyboard is raised slightly in the middle. Its definatly got worse since I dropped it! doh!

I can JUST squeeze mine together closer, but I mean, how close do you want it? You don't want it being so close that you can literally feel it sliding and grinding as you slide the keyboard out... I think it's been pulled off marvelously at how tight it looks and how well it opens :)

EDIT: Just a quick edit to mention that this was my 200th post! Glad to be a member of such a neat community :)

My battery cover snapped again! Will have to re-glue it at some point, otherwise the next time i drop it it'll fling off for good!

The annoying thing is, I have a case! I dropped it in the case (i'd had a few beers) so i picked it up, and was taking it out of the case to make sure I hadn't broken it, when OOOPs it fell onto a hard floor, bounces, the keyboard opened - it span round and came to a halt. Doh!

The moral of the story? Don't drink and phone!

marcwic -- I would think it is worth it, purely because you don't want to break it so much that they say that they refuse to repair/replace it.
