So after 4 exchanges I was happy when I opened the box and found it didn't have screen lift, the speakers worked great, and it didn't flicker.
After using it for awhile I noticed new problems never experienced before...
1) It wouldn't shut down completely. You could power it down, but it wouldn't turn on unless you held the power button for over 10 seconds to force a restart or if you plugged in the charger the screen wouldn't come on showing it was charging. It seemed to happen most of the time, but sometimes it would shut down like it should.
2) The touchscreen would become laggy/unresponsive after awhile. This mainly happens while playing games such Nova 3, the screen becomes unresponsive and makes it impossible to play the game. Or it happens while browsing in Chrome, it takes a couple swipes to move around the screen or when you try to input something on the keyboard it will miss every other key press.
3) If I installed certain programs Wifi performance would die. For whatever reason when I installed Dropbox wifi performance on my N7 would suffer. Instead of getting steady downstream speeds it would be very slow and constantly pause during a download. I saw this anytime downloading an app in Google Play or it was impossible to watch anything on Youtube.
Tried doing a factory reset twice to track down the problem and it came back each time. Did a goog search and found many other people were dealing with the same problems so it isn't me.
The Google rep felt it was a hardware issue so they're sending me another N7... at this point I don't care if the next one has screen lift, if it doesn't have the above problems I am living with it.
The non responsive touch issue is a pain. Exchanging mine tomorrow. I canfix screen lift, but the lack of response, i cannot.

I have a new n7 with no problems at all no screen lift all I did was fit a screen protector on the front and buy a yobo high quality case for it loving it got from Currys uk.
I've actually just contacted Google about returning mine due to a screen issue, at first the screen was semi responsive, then stopped working completely, no longer can i control the device unless i fully remove the back, or have the lower left portion of the back lifted while I'm using it. I've contacted Google about an exchanged and am now waiting on a response.
The screen does not respond, if I go to the main screen and put the back on, it registers a constant touch on the lower left side.
I have tried developer options, hard/soft reset, factory reset, etc.
I am unsure about what to do other than what I have but it's clear that this is a hardware issue. I am no longer willing to use the N7 I have because it literally feels like it's falling apart as well, with the creaks and such.
Thanks to Walmart and Staples for allowing me to return a total of 5 N7's and finally landing a perfect one. They all hand the common problem like screen lift, unresponsive screen, screen flickering and cracking speaker.
My suggestion is to buy it add a brick and mortar store that has no questions asked return policies, like the ones mentioned. Trust me it at the end it'll all be well worth it.

Returning my 1st one screen lift and wifi issues. Bought from the play store in UK called up and right away they sent a replacement out just send in my old one after I get it. It was a C60 from Ireland so we will see if the next one is a newer batch.

I have one from Staples bought July 18th that is perfect, a little bit of screen flicker but it's once in a blue moon, haven't seen it do it in a while, it's a c60....my other N7 was bought at Wal-Mart August 4th, c60, nothing wrong at all. As far as I can tell from doing the bezel test it's perfectly flat, no lift on either one. I push down on the left side where people say the lift starts and it doesn't make any noises on either one. If I do have it it's pretty minor, as some people are saying we "all" have lift in some way. I'm just not seeing it...and I have a blurex case that doesn't cover the bezel at all, so I can see the edges at all times. There are some c60' s that are good out there. Heck, I've been reading on here people having major screen lift with the c80 batches.

Personally, I really don't think it really matters *where* you buy it... Chances are probably better that you'll get a "good" one with the later serial numbers, but as we've seen, even some of the newest serial numbers can have problems too...
Shame on Asus for such a lack of Quality Control, but it is a great little device if you get a good one though! Extremely fast and stable device...

I think most people who get a defective unit complain... while most that don't have no reason to post that they rec'd a great product. I myself have a flawless one as well. Plus 5 of my friends...
I'm about to be on my third and my patience is starting to run thin. May keep the next one regardless and RMA direct with Asus. Scary that I'm actually expecting it to be faulty and hope its broken enough for RMA.

No issues here.
99% of the noise is either people with WAY out of kilter expectations for a £160 tablet, or are simply Apple shills.
You also have to consider that on forums like this, you will only ever hear from people with problems. Nobody comes here to say things are running fine.
Every device has manufacturing issues for sure, but considering the high numbers of Nexus7 devices shipped, and the rock-bottom pricing, it's actually rather good. Although try telling gutter press reporters like The Register and Engadget this, they will stir up an old crap if it means website hits. Both sites have destroyed their credibility in recent years over desperate fanboy reporting.

Nope. Mine is flawless.
Another 100% perfect tablet here. This is my first tablet and I have to say that it is unbelievable, especially at this price point. I really think that both the hardware and software on this thing gives us a snapshot into the future of these devices.
I already want to integrate jellybean into some sort of home automation system. With Google Now the possibilities are very cool.

After a few hours fine so far, touch wood.
No dead/stuck pixels.
No sign of screen lift, though I gather this may not be immediately evident.
Don't notice any ghosting.
Thought headphone socket was broken till I realised you need to push a bit harder than I'm used to on other devices to get them to click in place.
Only small glitch was while undergoing a lot of switching between different wifi options (testing speeds on home wifi, mobile tether blue tooth tether etc) settings force closed and sound stopped working till after reboot.
Free content is junk like I expected.
After unlocking bootloader used another email seem to have a second offering of credit. Didn't have card registered so it says I'll get credit when I register a card. Will wait till I have used first credit and know more about any repercussions for this.

Why should someone seek out a defect they wouldn't ordinarily notice or care about? Yes, you can be a hypochondriac when it comes to electronics too. Realistically we all have "something wrong" with us at any given time, and the same thing can be said about your electronic device.
Each and every device (not just N7s) out there has some kind of "minor defect" (and by that I mean doesn't work precisely as the owner might expect). The point is, owner who aren't obsessed about having a "perfect" device don't run 20 different diagnostic apps to try to hunt down that "defect".
I'm not saying every person who complains about a defect is a hypochondriac, there are definitively a select few real issues out there just like their always have been and always will be with every electronic device. However, there are many many more people who will just never be pleased, like those who have had multiple RMAs.
I have had mine since the 17th, no problems yet.

16 gig pre-order from the PS and I haven't noticed any issues
This is my 3rd N7. I just got it about 8 hours ago from gamestop. I thought when I started my new replacement up I finally got a defective free device!!! Started playing major mayhem and boy did I figure out quick this replacement was the worst. It would read my finger placement but I would either have to hold it there or swipe. Oh and the keyboard was almost impossible to use. Even moving widgets and apps on home screen was a chore due to it out being able to hold on to my placement. I know I'm not the only one having this issue. You guys think an update would fix this or do I have another deffective device?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Not sure, but if it is defective again, I would return it and buy it somewhere else.
Can you try it out with headphones plugged in or while touching the headphone jack? This might be a grounding issue.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I just returned. I usually hate GameStop but they are bring really cool about the n7. They are exchanging it without question. One time they didn't even turn it on lol! But I got my replacement today and so far so good. Hope nothing is wrong with it *knock on wood*

Third time will be the charm with me, I think. I'll be hopefully getting my third one early next week while I still have time to compare to my first unit. if the third one has issues, then I'll be putting the N7 on the back burner until people are reporting that these common issues are resolved. It's just taking TOO much time and energy to mess with this whole thing.
Gamestop just replacing them right there on the spot?
I made a video of the issue I'm experiencing along with how it behaves when I have the headphones plugged in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG3-vjFYh0Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player

No, you didn't stutter, but you also didn't make much sense. I'd say a person with the time and inclination has no reason not to try to get a defect-free device. There's every reason to believe that at some point the initial manufacturing issues will be worked out, and defect-free Nexus 7's will become available. That should happen sooner rather than later, and so long as Google is willing to keep sending replacements, there's no reason why someone shouldn't keep trying (do note that I, personally, do not have the time or inclination, so I'm stopping at 3).
So, when I say "why," I'm asking: what's your reasoning? Certainly you don't REALLY mean that "God or some other higher power" is actually trying to say something.
Yes GameStop just returned it no questions asked. The only problem was finding the tablets. Only one GameStop in my city had a replacement. This one is perfect EXCEPT the sound. Its cracky and pops. But the m going to hold onto this one because everything else is flawless. Including the lifted screen. I rarely use the internal speaker anyway. It works fine of I dont pump it up a lot. Anyway yes GameStop was badass for once. They didn't even turn it on lol. I could have gutted the CPU.

Kinda makes me wonder if Google, Asus, or retailers are just recycling some of the returns to someone else, hoping they will be fine with whatever defects the person returning couldn't live with. Anyone know if there are any rules at the retail level that prevent this from happening?

Wanted to bump this for information as well. Looking to purchase one for Christmas and purchase one for my grandpa who is having a slowly deteriorating processing condition.
Have the build issues been resolved?
I think they reduced the problems but never got rid of them. It's always hit or miss. I have an original model without problems, a friend has a c70 with squishy power button and another friend has c80 without problems. Don't worry, if there are problems just take it back to staples.

The one that I got on 29 October from Staples got the screen lift issue after 2 days. It had the serial #C09K (September built). I returned it and then got another one from office depot and so far no issue with the build quality. This one had the serial #CA0K (October built).

I have the latest CA0K and I notice a slight difference between the left and right side. The right side is flush against the silver trim and the left is like 0.1mm raised, it is hard to see. I can feel the difference by running my finger over the trimming where it meets the display. I might exchange it later when there is newer revision again since I have until January to return
Have a CB0K, which I assume is a newer model...has screen lift. :/
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I bought a C07K in August which has a minor screen lift. I just bought another one CB0K model. Screen is perfect, but back cover where screen lift located is loose when you push it you can hear a creaking noise. So I exchanged it for another one CA0K model. This one is so far so good, solid built.
I think I will wait for like a CC0K model or something. I'm not sure if mine is even classified as screen lift as it's less than a 1mm difference but the display is a little recessed on every other edge so I assume it's not normal for only the left side to be a little higher.
Bought my Nexus 7 32gb model from a local walmart with first part of the SSN is C90K. Don't even see any screen lift on the device least that I can see anyways. I had the device for 3 days now and have not found any issues with it yet.
You can try running your finger nail slowly to each edge, the silver trim has a very slight elevation that should barely stop your finger nail from sliding up and over it kind of like a galaxy nexus. It's a subtle detail on the nexus 7

Because I bought it imported from USA , I checked calling ASUS that it has 1 year International warranty. So mine is also C9OK ( O letter , not 0 zero , ASUS explained that to me through their systems ) and its perfect. It came with 4.1.1 version preinstalled

Not 0.1mm but 1mm. How am I complaining? I am just stating what I see. I had my nexus for 2 weeks and I don't want to end up with what could develop into something more serious thus I may exchange it. No, I do not want to fix it any future problems myself and void the warranty. You are complaining about me being detail oriented. There's hardware revisions for a reason. I'm not saying my nexus 7 has a definite flaw that's why I discuss about it for more input.
Soon I paid for my Nexus 7 I told the cashier. I told the cashier I was going to open up the package and look at the device here in the store. I told them about the known issues with some of the batches. Turned the device on I bought right in the store and checked the whole thing out.
After looking it all ever turned out my device it good and solid.
Got this tablet yesterday for x mas and all ready noticing the screen lift on the left hand side. I can get my nail between the Bessel and screen. It is within warranty for the store return, do u guys suggest returning it? Will it get worst?
Why wouldn't you return it? If it started to lift now it will only get worse. Take it back.

For the record, I have a day 1 Nexus 7 with some minor screen lift that has not gotten worse at all. Some spongyness on one tiny part of the screen and that's it.
It's up to you Op. If minor screen lift is the only issue with the device you could always run the risk of replacing it with a device with more issues. If it bothers you enough, definitely try and get a device that is perfect. But if you only noticed the screen lift with a microscope due to the nuttiness that is these forums, you might be OK with what you have.

Ur quite right, I got an xperia play last year that after an hour using touch screen would muck up, spent a month replacing it and wait in for a return on it only to find its really a problem with xperia play in general, and I would b running the risk of a worst one, it does annoy me tho but it is only an ocd way, I'm sure it wouldn't get worst as its not so much the screen lift in from the unit but the unit rising above the left side of the bezel. I'm pass in the shop in a few days anyway, might try one return, if it has the same problem just stick with it as I don't want to spend another month with the hastle of returns, and I do have the years warranty with it anyway but I do think I've a point that I could return it and get something worst,
Well, you can try this if you want, it worked for me.
I say break it send it in and get a new one
You could have used the search function, found one of the myriad of threads that discuss the **** out of this issue and posted in that rather that clutter the forums with conversation that has been talked about before.
I always thought that one of the rules here on XDA is search first before making a new thread.
Little bug bear of mine wading through threads that have been done to death!
From my Nexus 7
A while ago I came across a YouTube video of a guy poopooing the Nexus 7 because while he liked the device he's had two have screens that suddenly went haywire. I fear my device is beginning to suffer the same fate.
Its a 32gb that I picked up from staples on day one of their release. Basically what happens is increasingly my swipes (long swipes... Not flicks) register as taps and sometimes don't pick up at all. Also from time to time the screen will behave randomly as if I'm seiping or tapping even when I'm not even holding the device. Normally turning the screen off will fix it but its gotten to the point that I'm now resetting the device a couple of times a day.
Basically I want to know what the best option is. Take it back to staples even though its been well beyond 30 days? Call Google support? Is there a known fix? Thanks folks.
