Wish I checked here as often as I used to.

DO NOT MESS WITH THE SCREWS!!

The screws have NOTHING to do with the slider!!
It does however crack the plastic around the screen and allow light to bleed through.
I have photos posted somewhere but there's no home fix for a phone with twist.

If you have a lot of gap then hot glue may work for awhile but epoxy is a better solution.
It's smoother, for sliding, and won't wear as fast.

My 3rd Pre is a refurb that has a date newer than my 2nd.
Refurbs have been available for quite awhile, I think the first was reported in July.
It's not a bad thing either. Refurbs are supposedly checked twice before being boxed up where new ones are checked once.
