Not sure. I have read plenty of posts where folks say that is how it was designed and others that say their phone has no gap. It is pretty subjective without pictures I imagine. You are within your 30 days. If I had it to do over, I would go to a Sprint store and check the model for the gap and maybe ask the manager to get a new one out to compare. If there is no gap on the new one, I would make them swap me. If there is a gap, then you are no worse off. As long as you are within the 30 days, you can always give it back. If they all have it, at least you know.

If you go, let me know how they look. I have been meaning to stop by and check just out of curiosity myself.
