Re: Screen Portion Loose/Slide Around?

i can't say if mine slides with the volume as i tend to keep a finger on the opposite side, primarily to keep it from sliding.
I think it's a bit unfair to compare the 6700 slider as that one did not spring open, and it felt pretty bleh to open.

I am pretty sure it had a spring-assist mechanism, just like every other slider out there. Spring-aside, how is it not fair to compare? It opened solid, felt like a rock, and was only slightly bigger than the Pro.

I would bet everything I've had, and everything I will ever make in my life that the MAJORITY of people, (including those who have not, and refuse to purchase the phone because of it's build,) would take a few extra millimeters, if that meant making the phone more durable.

Re: Screen Portion Loose/Slide Around?

yea, mine had 1 and 2 and it was very springy, also the home and back key was raised like crazy, not aligned at all. it got some annoying that i returned it to bestbuy yesterday for another. now , the new one is perfect. there is little to no gap between the keyboards and there is no play. the home and back key is aligned to the centimeter.

Re: Screen Portion Loose/Slide Around?

i only experience #1. I've been trying to press the opposite side of the screen when using the volume rocker to prevent it from sliding to much.

I've just come to accept it. It is a very move-able part that slides open and close who knows how many times?

I can live with it just so long as it doesn't get worse and the phone still functions properly.

I was messing around with the display model at Best buy when I was waiting to get mine. There was probably an inch 1/2 gap between the screen and keyboard when it was closed. I hope my phone doesn't get that bad

Re: Screen Portion Loose/Slide Around?

I have not noticed mine to slide much for either volume or power button. Might be the way I hold it though, not sure. It does feel a bit loose but I only notice when I am actually trying to see how loose it is lol. I never had much gap between the keyboard and screen until I tried putting this cover on. I had to remove it and I think I inadvertantly bent the screen portion up a bit on one corner so there is a noticable space between now.

I think what makes the keyboard feel so loose is due in part to the weight of that section but I am only speculating.
