Can you elaborate or describe better? There is no plastic between the glass and the aluminum body, except at the very "top" above the front facing camera and this is a large plastic piece that wraps around to the back of the unit. I think this must be where the antennea are located. Overall the glass is slightly raised from the body at the edge of the aluminum body and even the single plastic piece I mentioned.
Unless they made a special piece of glass just for your iPad, I would tend to agree with the Apple tech.
Guino -Not sure if this is same issue as you have:
my iPad 2 has an almost invisible gap btwn the glass front and the aluminum back. It is just to the right of the Home button and over the speaker. If I pinch it there is a small popping or clicking sound. I took it to Apple Genius Bar and they ordered me a replacement, but it has not yet arrived.
There is plastic between the glass and aluminum it is a small band that goes all around the iPad. The band is flush around the sides and bottom but at the top there is a gap. I will try to photograph it to show you.
There is a plastic or rubberized strip between the glass and the aluminum to act as a seal and there should be no gap. On mine this fits snugly all round. There have been reports that a few of the early iPads had some problems with these seals. I suggest finding some of the reports (online and in these forums) and taking the reports and the iPad back to your Apple person. They are not all like that.
My iPad 2 has a gap between the plastic and glass !?!
