So I noticed earlier today there's a small gap on one side between the glass and the body. My ocd is killing me. The issue I have is dust, dirt and other small debris can settle within the crevice.

Does anyone else notice this?
Edit: pic updated
I haven't noticed this yet on mine but just got it 3 days ago. I will keep looking as I have a bit of OCD too.
I believe I also have a whee bit of a gap on the left side , but it is so small it doesn't bother me. I don't think I could get a picture of it if I tried it is so slight. I really had to look at it to convince myself it was even there. Your first picture makes it look quite obvious on yours though. I assume you're having it replaced because of bad pixels so hopefully the next one will be 100%.
Yes I'll be taking mine back due to this and 7 dead pixels. These two things made it an easy choice whether to return or keep it.
UPDATE: Contacted motorola. They said either i ship mine back to them and then theyll send me a new one. or they ship me a new one put a $200 hold on my CC and then once received, i ship mine back to them.

So I purchased these about 3 weeks ago and have been happy about it so far.
Purchased FULL BODY KIT
http://phantomskinz.com/htcevo4g.aspx
Look:
Overall not noticeable. On the sides you can see lines where the 3 side body kit pieces meet. I had to trim them down a bit to make them fit. I think i may have stretched them a little.
At first I had a few air bubbles over the last 3 weeks they have all seemed to go away.
However I can still see slight remnants of whatever adhesive keeps it in place I do see less but I guess in time ill know whether it will go away entirely. I can only see it on the screen when it is off.
Feel:
Feels fine no rubbery feel which is what i was attempting to stay away from.
Overall Impression:
I like it so far and was shipped 2 kits so on a 2nd attempt i know I can do a lot better. Also to note you can replay current skin as often as you want or so they claim have not tried it yet.

Front side phone: You can see the side issues i had but i can do better later I'm sure.
Thanks more info just ask
The other month the metal frame round my Desire came loose to the point that it protruded quite uncomfortably in the hand. I bought and fitted a whole new case which was no problem, however now it lets in a lot of dust, mostly through the middle left of the screen, and I'm not talking about a little bit of dust, it lets in crazy amounts that after 2 weeks ends up obscuring the screen completely and I have to take it apart and clean it. I've added a couple of photos to show what I mean:

I think it's to do with the seal but I'm not sure exactly. Anyone else had this issue, or could help? Thanks.
There is a bit of a seal between the glass and the metal in the desire which you might need to replace one way or another. I also think the glass is put on during manufacture in vacuum conditions.
People who repair watches or replace batteries on watches that require to go x number of meters under water have to go through a similar process. Might be worth seeing what they can do.
it's quite unfortunate. Good luck with sorting out the issue.
I have the same problem. I once dismantaled the entire thing, cleaned out the dust and put it back together. It mostly got cleared for a while but then came back.
I've gotten used to it now...

The screen has cracked for a very long time but still functional. Just now, it fell once again and then a white-ish thin line appeared at the very right corner, but I ignored it as it does not disturbed me. Few hours later, I think i put a little pressure into this pressure (But I'm pretty sure i am not, because my the only thing i did was to put it inside of my jeans pocket) and poof! Half of the screen cannot be seen clearly (refer picture). But still could function as in I could still use the touch screen mode at the affected area. Could this lcd screen problem be saved without replacing the lcd with a new one? Replacing it is my last resort if I could save it DIY. Help me, thanks!
Yeah, sure, via a software update. That'll also give you wireless charging, but only if you charge the phone inside the microwave.
You've cracked the screen! What sort of DIY fix you assume can exist, besides replacing it?
tired of cheap ebay screens, what replacement screen do yall recommend?
OnePlus RMA. It isn't overly expensive.
From memory, it was around £90 for me.
I have a very little Slot over my first Headspeaker near the Camera. There is some dirt and i dont know if other has the same Problems.
I got my Phone around 2 Weeks and for that Price that is a shame.
I attached Photos where you can see it.

Google Support says its normal.
The gap shown in the picture shouldn't be there.
Best Joke ever: Google Support says its normal.
I agree, that gap should not be there. Not on mine. Call them back, tell them you went to Best buy or a VZ store to compare and you have this big gap that they don't.
You said you just got it, return it to where you bought it so you don't get stuck with a refurbished from Google..... assuming you bought it new.
Reading the chat history in the picture, the employee might think of the speaker cutout. You could try to highlight the gap in some color.
This slot is normal, try gently using a clean soft bristle toothbrush to sweep it out. That's what I do. Works great for the speaker grills and charging port as well!
You are right but this was the Beginning of the Chat. They know now what i mean but says the Photos are not enough and want a Video or more Photos.
What is happening to my phone!? I dont even know how to search for this. The LCD still works fine. Touch works fine. Its almost like something is separating internally causing a contrast difference in this odd, blotchy pattern among the pixels. A white screen shows the issue the best. Less back light makes it harder to detect. It was just slightly noticeable in the upper corner 24 hours ago.... now its 20 times worse! I got this phone from Verizon the day it came out. It is unlocked using Sunshine and running Viper10 and has been since I got it unlocked. Cant imagine that has anything to do with this though...
Has anyone else ever seen this or know what it is or what causes it??? I am at a loss here.

Wow, not one response in almost 2 weeks... Has no one ever seen this before on any device!?
As strange as this was, whats even stranger is that the phone has healed itself! The screen is now 100% back to normal. I have no ideas what happened, but ill take it!
That's awkward
