Are there any gapless Touch Pro?

My touch pro has been working nicely for me. Only issue is the gap between screen and keyboard at closed position. There is some loose play. When I dial numbers, I can feel the slight clicky feedback. When I first got it, I thought there's haptic feedback function

Just wondering if all pros have more or less this issue. Is it worth the trouble going through another one to find the gapless and issueless Pro?

Mine was good until I put a hard case on it, now I guess you could fit about 2 sheets in the bottom left corner. The rest is fine. It's worth it to me to have the cover on it though. I have a clear plastic one so it doesn't rob the phone of its styling.

Ok, seems it's worth trying another one. It's a shame for such a nice phone to squeak and clunk in the hand....

You will see that the KB is held together with four springs using tension. This will and wear, and can bend, so no TP is immune to this problem...

That's a good review. Thanks.
My old PPC6700 is still tight after 2 years of careless use. Seems Pro is a step backward in this regard..... In comparison, my wife's Diamond feels so much better built.

Not a step backward, just a different design.
