Build quality: Surface is creaking

[livekyle]

Hey,

I wanted ask if anyone else noticed this lack of build quality on their Surface 2. I'm talking about the plastic part on the back of the Surface (the one that houses the camera). Overall it's not fitting into the rest of the device very well (edges standing out etc.). But the biggest concern that I have is that it's creaking when I apply the least amount of pressure on it.
I know this is OCD stuff but I excpect better quality from a device in that price range. After all this is not a 150$ Android plastic tablet...

Not happening on mine but had other build issues.
Just keep returning until you get one you are happy with.
Advanced exchange provides no loss of use.

Mine is solid.

Mine too! Can't really fault it in any way...yet!

Solid here also. I haven't noticed any build quality issues at all. Got it on launch day.

Yes the build quality is horrible on the surface 2, my surface 1 was perfect, I got two surface 2 today and they both had similar build quality issues straight out of the box, returned both of them, really disappointed.

Your 3rd picture...mine looks just like that!
Oh, well I have been living with it for about 8 months now...it's just a cosmetic issue but yea, for a device in that price range, it is embarrassing!
