I have stopped by several stores and all do not have the gap. The stores did not get their models until after almost a month of selling online or in other words, later batches.
What I have noticed is the spacing around the newer models is closer to the screen but there is slightly more of a gap at the bottom of the buttons compared to my original one that has a larger gap between the buttons but no gap at the bottom of the buttons.
hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm
