Small gap between bezel and side of my note 2 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
My Note 2 seems to be having a small gap on the upper side of the screen. Is this a problem where I should ask for a new one? Do other people have this problem?

Hi,
If its titanium Grey then its more clear on the gap. Marble white not so clear. Mine has that too. Guess its normal. Unless the gap is too big. That gap tends to collect dust sometimes.

I updated the TS with an unclear picture of my gap. I don't have any other camera to make a photo with other than my phone, so I used my webcam. I hope y'all know what I mean.

Hi,
The picture is unclear. If you mean the gap at the bezel, a small gap I supoose its normal. The gap is unclear on whites but more clear on black.

Hi,
Your gap seem rather bigger than mine. Most sets have that but severity varies. Anyway if the dust boder you then you can try clean it with a soft toothbrush. Then use a bumper case to cover it.

Mine has a small gap but its just above the power button
Only thing that annoys me is it collects dust over time..

That gap is normal. I have cross-checked with over a dozen Note '2''s, and found the same gaps; however, they vary from unit to unit. In respect to Post # 1, that gap looks normal, within limits. :good:

Gelaskins review

Review for "Gelaskins Enamored Owl Samsung Galaxy S III "
Hellur everyone, as you can see the gelaskin is pretty much a sticker that goes onto the body of your phone, be aware that with the gelaskins you dont get a screen protector so youll have to custom cut your own.
It took me at least 45 minutes to put this on, i dont have any fingernails so it was rough to apply it to the phone correctly
But all in all it smooths out easily and looks freaking awesome. Gives your phone a unique look and feeling.
I would rate this higher than any other phone skin, gelaskins customer service is also pretty reliable and awesome. Great place to get a phone or tablet skin.

I've always wondered about these. How do you view your content/screen through this? All I see is the design. Doesn't that get annoying?

The design is just a wallpaper matching the skin. Nothing is covering the display.
The skin is 3 parts:
The back skin
The front-top skin covering the earphone
The front-bottom skin covering the softkeys/home button
That's correct. Gelaskins let's you download the matching wallpaper with the phone skin. Pretty awesome, make sure you pick a design you wont get sick of.

Foggy usually means moisture. You can just wait a few days and see if it clears up or replace the camera. Parts are super cheap for the OG EVO and its an easy replacement.
Is it the Purple looking marks that are the concern ? Or is the Camera not Functioning properly ? If the Camera isn't functioning properly, you may want to try applying gentle pressure to the lens itself. Looks like the Device has been dropped. When that happens sometimes the lens unseats. Applying gentle pressure on it till it seats itself again sometimes corrects the issue.

Top glass is lifting up a bit

Everywhere else the glass is recessed a bit except for the top. Any one else?

Pictures?
Yes I have it although it is very very small and very hard to tell (only if in sunlight at the proper angle. Shouldn't happen at all? No. But not enough to bother my OCD.....yet. If it gets worse and I think it will become a problem I will pursue a replacement so I'd keep an eye on it.

That's what I'm afraid of. It becoming worse. It's fine for now. I updated my post with picture. Is yours about that same?

Nope. Mine is not that bad. It's only doing it in one small area right above the front facing camera. If mine was like yours I don't think I could get used to it. Although it's difficult to tell from just one picture. What I have noticed is that lint /dust gets caught in the gap. Kinda sux....

Got another unit but this one is not as bad as my first. This one I can live with. But unfortunately this one still has the screen smearing issue, and dlink wifi issue. Which are the main reasons I returned the first unit. I've found some work around so I think Im gonna keep the phone this time around.

I think he's talking about the black one? It's the same guy that's complaining about these on every thread about spigen. The black one does scratch the phone on the corners.
Does anyone know how I can purchase this case? The website doesn't give me the option to order it

Confirmed. The black one scratched 3 of my corners unfortunately. My Neo Hybrid however is fantastic.

Are you guys worried about the gap??

Are you guys worried about your note 4 having a gap? after hearing about the first phones over seas having a gap between the screen and the metal frame. don't know what to think of it, I wanna get the note on the 17th, but am afraid to pre order the note just because I don't want to open my brand new phone to a gap..
Nope.

I'm not worried at all about it. I've had at least one spot, in every phone I've owned, that had a gap in it somewhere. If this is what it takes to bond metal to glass, I'm all for it. It actually states the gap is there in the manual, so it's a design feature. Check out this video about the gap.
www.youtube.com/embed/r3mNJCNnARo
If the glass was right up against the metal, the slightest drop would cause the screen to spider crack. The plastic had a little absorption abilities but metal will transfer any vibration directly to the glass...so you should be happy it is there...it shows they were thinking.
Had a pair of note 2's in the family for a couple of years they've worked fine all this time. They both had a gap that you could barely fit a sticky note in. Not really a problem.
