Bad Keyboard Slider

[imnuts]

I've been going through replacement TP2's quite quickly the past couple weeks after my original started running really slowly on me (come to a crawl a day after a hard reset, regardless of soft-reset or not). This latest device seems to be good to me except for the slider mechanism for the keyboard/screen. It feels significantly weaker than all previous units I've had and I've almost opened the keyboard a few times taking it out of my pocket. I also opened it and pushed against a scale to see how much force was required to open/close it and it's just over 1 lb., and I can shake the phone and have the screen slide open to show the keyboard, and can close it in the same method, though closing it is more difficult.

Am I just being to critical, or is this a weaker mechanism than usual? Can anyone else try and shake the screen open/closed or see how much force is required to open/close the physical keyboard. I'm getting tired of replacements, and if this really is another bad one, I'm getting a new phone entirely as the replacement units have been terrible.
