Hi everyone,
I just got a white skyrocket and notice there are 2 lines kind of look like fracture at the top corner of each side on the back, I am not too sure if it is design or fracture because they are in the same position of each side and feel smooth. Can you guys check your to see if you have them.

Nope, not on mine. (Mine's black though). Wonder if it's only the whites....or if you got a defective unit.
I have them on my white one also.

They are also on my white. I thought it was a fracture as well. Looking at the back of it, the one on the top right is more pronounced. I had multiple people look at it, and the consensus is that they are supposed to be there, most likely as a result of the manufacturing process. They are just much more visible in white than black. If you look very closely you can see it curve off towards then end, and not go all the way to the back removable cover.

I have them too. How in the world did you see them haha

Cant unsee!
I agreed it is supposed to be there because they have exact angles and curve at the end the same way. If you look at it closely, they are under the coating not crack thru.
My black has them. After a thorough inspection I've come to the conclusion that they're part of the manufacturing process and NOT cracks.
I have them too on my white Skyrocket. Seems normal after seeing this post.

I have got my tf700 for 2 days. It seems that the bottom left part of the screen/glass (edge) is not as flat as the top part. When I press it, I can feel a little loose. Another thing is when the whole screen is showing a pure black, such as restarting with asus logo, the bottom part is not uniform, with a little spotted white area. Is it just me or common for all tf700?
The small amount of give at the bottom left corner of the screen seems common across many users. Mine was flat but I could press it down 1-2mm and it would spring back up - wasn't really an issue for me. I didn't notice any white spotted areas on the screen when it was black, I've since returned mine so might be worth waiting on someone else's opinion on that.

You're right about the screen and the little white spotted is the light bleed..

Sorry that gave you a bad feeling. I will keep it. I have ipad3 and it has similar light bleed aslo, not a big deal when you use it. It is not noticeable for normal usage. The loose fit of the screen isn't sever at all. Hope asus can improve the software soon. It is a very good tablet but not as smooth as apple, but I love many android functions as apple product can hardly be modified.
Is it just me or has any one else noticed the dent in the top right corner? There is one in the top left corner but less noticeable.
Post a picture please.

No dents at all, smooth clean lines no matter what angle I look at it.
Yeah no issues here with what appears to be dents. Sure you didn't drop ?

I assume you are talking about the gap between the metal rail and the upper bezel - That's definitely not there on my phone.

I still don't see an indentation... But yeah, the gap is definitely not normal. I'd compare to floor model at the store. looks like maybe it was dropped or defect in materials?
I have that gap In the rail as well
Are you talking about the flat part on the metal rail, on some end, right near the corner, I have it, but I think it's more of a machine mode press.
About the gap, I have that but it's on the back, one side has no gap, whiles the other with a noticeable gap, I also think its the mode press, I have notice this during my purchased and I also check a few other, and most of them have it.
update: looking carefully, it's probably the battery cover on one side is slight short.
Gap
No gap
Dint
No dint
Manufacturing inconsistency is what you have OP. It happens, you could try calling your carrier and see if they will exchange. But it doesn't hamper the phone.
That's a shame. The exterior of my phone is put together with precision.
Lol both of mine were good
I too have that gap, upper right hand corner
yea it happends sometimes, I think u can exchange for a new one (if they have a perfect one)
I just got my phone last week and did not use it a lot. It was mostly in my pocket (always alone, no keys or anything) or standing on my desk. Today, I noticed there are some scratches on the back panel on the top and bottom! Is that normal ?? I thought the ceramic panel was supposed to be super scratch resistant. I'll post pictures when I have time.
Also, looking at the scratches carefully, I also noticed that the back panel is not flush with the body, it looks like the adhesive is missing in the top corner and it moves if I push it down.. really weird I think i'm gonna return it.
Definitely return it. This is not normal. Mine is very solid and the back panel does not move when you press on the corner. You've gotten a defective unit.

I took some photos, sorry for the quality, it's hard to focus on a mirror finish You can see the mini scratches (almost like fibers) and the gap between the metal body and the back panel.

First run had some pretty bad quality issues from what people have said on here.
I thought you were just whining, but that does look odd. I'd return it

I have scratches on mine just like that. I pre-ordered as soon as it was available. Might warranty exchange it.
return it, mine has no gap or play when applying pressure.

Agreed. That gap alone is worrying enough to warrant a return in my opinion. Will probably only continue to get worse.
Hi I got my U12+ just last friday. It wasn't until a couple of days later that I noticed what look like dirty smudges on the back of the phone, and they won't come off. At some angles the phone looks beautifully shiney, but at a few angles, these smudges really show up, some around the camera, around most edges, and a strange 1cm square to the bottom-right of the c (i.e near the htc logo).
I bought the phone from a main street retailer; the box was shrink-wrapped, everything inside it pristine, earphones all unopened, etc, so it does not seem to have been tampered with.
So I wonder if this is just some sloppy manufacturing? I've got two photos, one where I have highlighted with a yellow line the areas that I'm talking about. (And the red line is a reflection of my htc 10 I took the photo with; sorry about the spotlight reflection.) The smudges look more obvious when holding the phone (i.e worse than I can show in the photo).
The more I look at it, the more it makes me think this is from excess glue or sealant around the camera area; and along the sides, looks like it's where they've wiped extra glue off when they glued the back? The weirdest bit is the square mark.
I feel I'm being really fussy and would not return it just because of this (and because I'm in New Zealand, where probably very few htc are ever sold, I'd probably be in for a world of pain doing a return). But I'd like to remove the marks if possible.
Has anyone seen anything similar? Or know how to remove marks like this?
What can I use to clean the back? All the talk about this phone says 'glass front and back', but neither of them feels like glass. The back feels (and sounds, if you tap it with a fingernail) like a hard polymer/plastic; is that what it is?
Thanks!

I've kept my back protected with ultra-clear PhantomSkinz so I wouldn't know. And it still looks absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks - in fact I ordered one of these phantomskinz 2 days ago after I saw your positive reviews about it!! So I am holding you responsible
However, the smudges on my phone were already there, 'out of the box', so no chance to protect it when it started out that way...
I am hoping that this skin is going to be such a nice body hugging layer that it hides some of these blemishes.

How long have you owned it? If it's before 30 days I would return it. That is not normal.
I wonder if the smudges are on the inside. Maybe from when it was assembled.

Yes I am tempted to... but as mentioned in my original post, I'm at the end of the world here, I know the store does not have any more in stock... so to return it could be a right P.I.T.A. I can't be without a phone while I wait for a replacement.
I guess I'll go talk to them tomorrow.
What about the material the back is made out of? (I.e as I mentioned, it does not feel like glass to me; more like a polymer.)
If it does feel like glass to others, then I wonder if I got an early run or prototype version where instead of glass they used plastic (which could explain the marking).
Well this is very embarrassing. I'd tried various things to clean the smudges, but not used any chemicals (which is why I was wondering what it is made of).
I showed it to a workmate - without saying a word she picked up some magic cloth from the photocopier, wiped my phone... marks gone.
What the....?
I'll go back to the rock I obviously deserve to live under.

It is definitely made of gorilla glass 3...maybe that's why it feels different. Front and back are gorilla glass 3. And if it would be plastic or so, it would be different. If you can scratch it with your finger nails or so, you will know it ?

Looks like the glass coating problem that I had with the U11. Contacted customer support, and they offered me a replacement device. Started off with the sapphire blue, exchanged for a solar red.
Luckily have had no such problems with my translucent blue U12 yet.
I started looking at my phone and it looks like the left side of screen has more black bezel than the right. I will post pics later today. Really upset if this is true. With the 6T I had an issue and the RMA experience is horrible. Post pics of your side bezel so I can compare. Post with case on and off.
I was looking at mine, sorry i cant post a pic. what i think you might be noticing is that the factory installed screen protector is just the tinniest bit to the right. at least, thats what i notice on mine. you cant see it unless you really examine it closely, but the bezels are definitely the same on both sides.

It's seems to be really noticable with white background. Or maybe it's the stock case that cut uneven. Put on your stock case and see if one side of the phone shows more bezel. I am using the clear stock case and that might be the issue.
you might be right. best test i could think of was hiding the navbar, then going into an app where theres a text input box on the bottom. this way, you can compare the curve along the box

This is the best pic I can take off the screen not aligned. Not sure if you can tell but with the bright sunlight you can see where it's misaligned. Left side is off by a bit.
I see what you're talking about, but I do think it's the stock case as well (i'm still using the stock case) and not the phone, because when I take the case off and look at the actual bezel of the phone, it's the same
Looking at it with the sun directly shining on the screen. You can see the AMOLED is slightly shifted to the right.

It was. That's why I sent it back.
If you forward the the 6:10 mark you can see the AMOLED screen is not glued to glass. This issue I have can become very common.
