Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Displays Breaking [Google I/O Limited Edition]

At this year's Google I/O developer conference, the 5000 attendees each got to walk away with a limited edition Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The limited edition tablet had an army of Androids etched on the back, was sleek and generally fabulous. You can check out our unboxing and review of the tablet. However, the buzz and delight of having ownership of such a tablet didn't last long. There are several folks now that have reported a physical defect with the tablet, having to do with the display.

Our guys over at Android Community got a personal account from a Justin G., who's limited edition tablet began coming apart. Apparently, the glass display wasn't glued properly and started lifting off from one corner. You can see for yourself in the image below that the display is coming loose. The image right below that is how the corner should look like.

Justin contacted Samsung support regarding the problem and below is what he got in response:

Albeit the Google I/O limited edition Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 was free, but certainly an incident like this gets us worried about the actual production units that are upcoming. And judging from the comments section over at Android Community, Justin's not alone in his predicament.
