Just got Note 5 and the stylus is not quite flush with bottom of device. It protrudes just a bit and it's a little bit annoying but was wondering if anyone else has same issue.

I bought 3 and the pens are not flushed with any of them. It doesn't bother me; the top of the pen is not curved to match the contour of the corner.
The one I demoed in the store was actually flush.
It's very slight but I just assumed it was to make it easier to push in to release it.
I can feel it slightly also. This could be by design to make it easier to "feel" for the pen. If it was 100% flush with the phone it would be more difficult to feel without being able to see it (for example, during the night in bed)...
I think they are all like this, so it's not a defect with your particular phone.
My s pen was flush in the beginning. Now it's not. I am a heavy s pen user. I'm wondering if the spring inside was too compressed and now it has loosen. Not happy. ?

If you run naked it would be annoying, but if you use a case it really wouldn't matter at all.

Has anyone felt any empty spots on the back of their device?
When I'm holding the device in my left hand my thumb is on the front and fingers on the back. My forefinger hits this spot right above and a little further back than the card slot, and the case indents then if I shift the weight of the device at all it pops back out making a clicking sound. When this happens I feel the edge of the back piece move under my thumb as well.
It is a terribly minor issue but it's also annoying. As I'm reading the back of the device is popping in and out just a tiny bit and clicking.
Has anyone felt anything similar on their device? Should I just get a case and forget about it? I would hate to exchange something for this tiny little issue but it is very distracting (to me).

yes mine does it 2 its a lump of crap. i hate it with a passion that's why im selling it on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170811319...LX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_964wt_1344 and now im buying a galaxy nexus haha now that's quality. also it will be getting the new android 5.0 jellybean this year. our tab is good but not for what i what. i can not use it with out a case as it will scratch to bits. its almost like Samsung made it form a melted down coke bottle
hmm ive always heard these tiny click-like noises when i hold my tab without a case. annoyed me like crazy. i was thinking is was somehow the sd card slot cover. i'll check it out...
Well 10 minutes after posting, the Poetic case I ordered from Amazon arrived. Problem solved.
Primarily I wanted to know if the flexibility of the back cover was unusual. It seems to be so that greatly reduces the chances of exchanging it for one that doesn't have this issue.
Thanks for the help.

I guess I'm lucky I don't have that problem. (knocks on wood)

I personally haven't noticed it, but that's also because I have a folio case for it. No big woop, it works for me I'm happy.
I use my GT-P6210 naked, with nothing but a screen protector, and I haven't noticed anything like this. I've tried some gentle probing to look for soft spots. Nothing. Feels solid.

I don't have that problem either. And I've even dropped it a couple of times.

Hey all.
First off, I love my note 10.1. It has its issues, like anything else, but it still is the only android tablet with a true wacom digitizer and killer hardware. I've been using my tablet pretty heavily for the last 12 days. The first thing I did when I opened the box was check the build quality. It had absolutely no creaking and only very minor flex on the back panel (pretty rigid considering it's plastic). however lately i've been noticing it's starting to creak as I hold it near the pen silo and on the other metallic edge. I've ordered a case that should be coming soon so this won't be too bothersome, but I have some ideas of why this occurs.
First, I accidently inserted the Spen backwards into the silo and I think this might have wedged the case apart a bit. This did not cause any creaking however. I have a feeling that when writing with your hand weighing down tablet (like any sheet of paper that you write with) the combined pressure/body heat is distorting the frame.
So I'm wondering if any other heavy handwriting users are experiencing this aswell?
lol hit the thanks by mistake......
Anyway try putiing a skinomi skin on the back- i used a brushed metal and- it looks great, still fits in all the cases i use and - NO creaking. I guess it helps stiffin' the back enough to stop it. i did not really have alot of creaking to start..
Who cares if iets creaking. Its the only tablet i can actually draw on.:laugh::good:
Yeaaaa they should really redesign the s pen so that it can go in the slot without worrying about if its the right side or not...

Yeah, my tablet was definitely silent at first but over time developed a slight creak. It probably doesn't mean too much hopefully, but it's really sad how much more solid my original Galaxy Tab 10.1 was.
Heck....EVERYthing starts to "creak over time"! Including me.....lol! Wait....that's really not too funny.... :/
Seriously, have been taking more and more notes and have yet to notice. Hopefully the build is string enough to withstand use. Adding a good screen protector that did not interfere with the digitizer was an initial concern for me.
Thinking about getting a screen cover for my phone just because I hate scratches and I always seem to get them when I have my phone in my pocket. Even though I have the flip cover view for my new S4 I was wondering do y'all think the Glasst screen shield from screen shield from spigen + the flip cover view will work?
I have both right now, the glass raises up the cover just slightly that it doesn't close all the way. After using it for a while and breaking it in, it's a little better but still has a little lift to it.

Hmm my flip cover doesn't want to close by it self sometimes even without it. Hmm. How do you like the screen shield?
I think it's great, however, I must not have applied it correctly. I have a huge bubble on the bottom right of the screen. I still highly recommend the protector, it actually seems to retract finger prints better than the GS4 screen. I don't even notice that the protector is there most of the time. Just make sure you apply it correctly the first time.
When I hold the phone with the corner of it touching my palm it feels sharp and "poky". I've noticed it as soon as I took it out of the box, at first I thought it might be the protective stickers but no that wasn't it. The back doesn't seem to be perfectly flush with the sides at the corners, just enough to be a bit annoying when in hand.
Is anyone else noticing this? I'm coming from S4 which was really nice in hand, even with the "cheap" plastic.
yes a bit annoying to me and i am wondering whether i should put a case on it to fix this problem.

I just opened my box and it's the first thing I noticed like a pinching on my palm. The back is too sharp and the side of the phone is inset. A big problem for me because it's annoying every time I use it! Arghh.. The other first impressions are great though! I'm gonna send mine back.. I guess.. Just not enjoyable to use it.
Never noticed anything like that. The white phone felt great in the hand. Just always feel like I'm going to drop it so I put on a case. Still feels awesome.

I've had to alter how I would normally hold a phone of this size for it to feel comfortable in my hands. It's feels more angular then any other smartphone I've owned, although it doesn't look it.
On mine, the back lower left corner is a little sharp as if the back plate is poking my hands a little. But to the eye it looks OK.

I'm guessing you have the black one? White one is great on the hand

i have a white one
No issues with the black one here. Very smooth all round and comfortable to hold. Feels much nicer than the samsungs too me. And surprisingly feels nicer than the N4 did too.
Any injuries reported from this yet?

Lmao, definitely something a little minor to complain about. I also noticed the bottom right corner of the phone doing this depending on how I grip the phone. But when I check the corners to see if they are uneven or off they seem to be fine. I'll post up here if I end up in the ER with a pinch injury...
Somehow I managed to chip a "divot" out of the body of my s7 (the regular one, not the galaxy edge). It's a roughly circular divot about 1cm in diameter, located at the 1:00 position above the front camera, on the very edge of the body where it rounds over to the front screen and just narrowly missing the front screen itself. I'm not noticing any problems so far. So, probably annoying but not fatal.
A picture would be good if you can take it, but odds are if it works now, you'll be fine.

Here you go. You can see just how small the hole really is, but I don't want cracks to propagate from the edges. I wonder if there's something I can fill in the divot with. I've done some googling but people are mostly concerned about scratches.
I wouldn't worry too much about that -- it hit the aluminum and doesn't seem to have caused a separation in the seam.
Typically mars like that are considered normal wear and tear, and shouldn't affect your warranty. I've traded in/warrantied phones with marks like that all the way around the edges.
Did you post this on reddit asking what you could fill in that "diviot" with by anychance?!
Fill it with Aluminium filler and primer used for Alloy rims. I have done that on Galaxy S6. If you do it with patience, will not be very visible.
