Molding around lcd loose

The Plastic bezel around the LCD screen literally just clicks into place, It is entirely cosmetic. I noticed mine hanging off so i very gently pryed the whole thing off and then put it back on, gently (but firmly) squeezing it into place all around the edges. Now its locked on nice and tight. If you do it, just be gentle around the iSight and microphone, but other than that its simple, a 5 year old could do it.

The actual LCD is firmly screwed into place, into the top (when lid is closed) hard plastic.

Just noticed this on my two week old black Macbook tonight...on the right side of the screen, about two inches down, the bezel is slightly loose in a couple of places and makes a click sound when you press on it.
Slightly annoying, but I really don't think it's a problem other than cosmetic. Other than that, my Macbook has been great....had a little problem with the default display profile being slightly on the pink side, but was able to calibrate it out.
Being that there's no whinning, mooing, dead pixels, or excessive heat issues, I think I'll probably hang on to it rather than exchange it (I have two weeks left). Besides, I really don't have the time to hassle with the exchange process.

I have the same problem and I got my MacBook this afternoon. The top right corner pops when i rub my thumb over it and about ~2" inches down there is a 1" soft spot that also seperates from the main screen itself.

I'm very upset about this -- not at Apple b/c I understand things happen -- but because this is the SECOND time i've had a 'cosmetic' bezel problem. My last iBook was a bit warpy but I opted not to do anything about it.... until....

.... the repetition of opening and closing the lid so much eventually caused hairline cracks to form which later grew. It was one **** of a battle with Apple about that and so I'm immediately bringing it back in tomorrow morning... if it comes down to it, I will be THAT GUY in the store if they don't exchange it. I'm not settling for a sub-par laptop when all my friends had perfect iBooks except me... once again, this seems to be the case. Everyone I know with a MacBook has no problems what-so-ever.

Thankfully the guys at the Austin Apple store are generally very nice and helpful.... if you can catch them in the morning before they have to deal with all the nonsense.

Nevertheless, the Genius bar is a thorn in Apple's experience if you ask me... specifically b/c of the sheer popularity of the iPod.

Hmm, the top right side bezel clicks in, the molding on the sides near the ports is beginning to warp, it is turning grey where i rest my hands, the trackpad button is mushy and this is my 3rd MacBook. 4H621

I just found my (Black MacBook) clicked about 3cm from the bottom right. So I slid my finger nail under it and it just popped out a bit; it really took no force what soever. Then I gently squeezed it back in pace and it stopped clicking. Seems to be fine now. It is a cosmetic thing for sure.

I don't know if this is caused by the laptop warping, as some comments suggest. Perhaps on the main body near the CPU but the LCD is create very little heat. My guess is the farm girl in China who’s job it is to click these bezels into place just daydreams some times and does not seat them as good as she could.

I'll keep an eye on mine.

I took my MacBook in yesterday for this reason and
was informed by a Genius that they are all made this
way. I don't remember the exact reason he gave.
However, more importantly, I checked every single
white Macbook on display in the store and found that
they all had the 'loose' molding at the bottom of
the LCD.

Just got my MB last night and like has been described here the bezel is loose around the MacBook logo, if you look down you can see it bows out towards the centre...

What it looks like is the the bezel does not click in on the hinge part, as it seems to start at either end of the hinge, bowing to the middle of the hinge.

I only noticed as I looked down from above the MacBook, in normal use you cannot see...

I am also loathed to take back, as apart from that it seems A-OK.

As I have read the LCD is screwed in, so this is entirely cosmetic, might pop back to the Apple store and see what the display models are like.

I just checked my local Apple Store, where my MacBook is from, any there are 16 MacBooks on display and all have the same cosmetic issue as mine, as in the bottom of the bezel bows out slightly to the middle starting at the hinge....

So I would say this is normal, looks like it is not connected in the hinge area as it's flush all the way around apart from there...

It bowing does vary from slightly better than mine, to worse.
