As the subject title shows, the main one I have an issue with is the Play Store's burger menu on the top left, it's hit and miss, even more so with a TG screen protector applied.

Might be the protector as well as you tapping too far on the edge.
it is in fact not responsive on the very edge but 100% working on the flat surface before the edge.

Today i have noticed that there is now some play in the buttons below the keyboard, that makes it feel like the touch sensitive area is becomming loose. If the lightly press on the down button or surrounding area below the centre 'ok' button , i feel and hear a click. Pressing harder then obviously activates the tactile button. It feels as if the plastic sensitive panel has become unstuck......????
Also there is slight movement top to bottom - ie i can slightly move the pad up towards the screen.
Anyone else have this?
I'm having the same 'problem'. I can move the bottom panel a small bit

I guess that must be normal, but do you have the first issue described in the first post?

No I don't have that problem. It feels solid.
Can anyone else press the screen semi hard with one finger and distort the LCD screen too?
I know it is not normal for anyone to be pressing that hard, but I just want to make sure I do not have a defect before my 14 days return window closes.
Thanks
ive done it before and that happens. It seems to have the same effect on all lcd/led screens with a bit of pressure. IMHO totally normal.

Thanks for the response. I know LCD screens do that, I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't an issue with the glass flexing and pushing on the LCD screen.
So if yours is doing it, then I'm OK with mine doing it too. It's not like we are going to be pressing that hard anyway.
Thanks!
You do know the L in LCD means liquid? If you press hard on any LCD screen this will happen. you are displacing the liquid under the screen. You aren't hurting anything. It corrects itelf in a matter of seconds.
The xoom has a really thin glass panel, this is most likely the reason you can distort the liquid easily
How this distortion looks? It could help discern what type of LCD Xoom is using. (for example pressing my PVA screen show a dark smudge)
angry birds causes me to do this now and then!
I get white smudges. I thought that Gorilla glass would have less flex.
Does it look like this?
I returned mine, as the first one I have doesn't exhibit this. Yes, if you press if really hard, any LCD would show this, but this is barely a tap. I'm using my Wacom stylus here, but it's the same with just my finger. It's actually worst in person, but you can clearly see it happening on the video. And it's only on the right hand side of the screen also, so it's definitely a defect. On mine anyway.

Actually, if you look it up on youtube, there are some videos showing how tough it is that also show how surprisingly flexible it is. It's pretty impressive stuff.

Yeah...mine is mostly on the right side into the center. Center to the left, it gets really hard to do it.
it's easier on the right side than the left on mine too but i still kinda have to push a bit. if you push in on the back panel on the right side it does it too.
Without going into a long story I just bought another 300 yesterday after returning the previous one. Upon opening and inspecting it I noticed what looks like a crack along the bezel trim in the upper left corner (in landscape) Between the power and volume buttons. Its right along the bend from the side the to the top. Ive had other 300's and never saw this on any of the others. But Im not 100% sure its a crack. It might just be a joint spot that wasnt aligned right and therefore the paint doesnt cover it. Using my thumbnail I pried slightly to see if the crack opened but it doesnt. Its still secure. So can anyone else verify that they can tell that this is a joint spot?
I also noticed a few things underneath the screen, and normally this would drive me crazy, but after all these returns and exchanges Ive gotten to the point where Im accepting flaws that just shouldnt be there. Its charging now from being totally dead so Ive only gotten a glance at the powered on screen to look for light bleed, and there is one pretty noticeable spot, but it looks like it might be a keeper as far as that goes. As long as I cant see the few particles under the screen when its powered on it wont bother me too much. But if that spot is indeed a crack its definitely going back. Thanks guys
Definitely a joint spot. Holding the tablet in landscape, the bottom two corners also have similar, though less defined, "cracks", but the top right corner does not. Is it the same with yours?

No just the power button corner for me. Pic attached.
After closer inspection I can see that all 4 corners are like that. But the one in the pic is worse. I think they just joined the pieces unevenly, and that caused the line to show up. Im just glad its not a crack.
Well, I wasn't actually referring to them as cracks (hence quotes). I could barely see the seam by the power button, and the other two seams are even less noticeable.
Are you sure you have seams in all 4 corners? Like I said, I only have seams in 3 corners (I've checked the 4th corner many times).

Yea there there in all 4. But only on the edge visible from the front. Very hard to see but there. I cant believe how soft the plastic is. I can see small dents where I pushed down with my fingernail trying to see if the "crack" would move. Wont be doing that anymore.
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.
Over time, the corners of my screen have become more loose, especially the top right corner. When I press down on it, the screen goes down and feels spongy. It feels like there is a gap or something.
Anyone else experience this problem? I worry about the waterproof ability now.
Thanks

Can you upload an image of your device? I can not comment without that.
It looks like a defect. Better get it replaced in warranty now!
