If your Pre has too much play in the slider, exchange it

I've had two Pres so far and am going in today to exchange for a third one. My first one had a bad mic (which apparently is pretty rare) but the slider was pretty good. The second pre I got however has 2-3 mm of play between the top and bottom of the slider, so it's scraping the sides of the keyboard when I use the slider. I brought it into a sprint store and they let me know that this is a sign of a defective unit and they'd exchange it as soon as they got one in. Just a heads up for those who are wondering how much play is normal. The twisting play in the slider is pretty normal and not necessarily a sign of a defective unit, space between the top and bottom of the unit is however (at least according to the repair technician I saw at the downtown seattle sprint store)
