    I was carrying my envy 15 the other day when I noticed the plastic hinge cover was not perfectly sealed on the back part. Around the middle of the cover you can see a small gap and can push and flex the hinge cover.

    Is it supposed to be this way and if you have the envy 15 whats it like on yours? Also, Would there be any potential problems with this?

    I can prolly point out the area on a picture if needed.

    On my Envy 15, the black part seems to be perfectly sealed to the back of the lid. I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about though... it would be good if you posted a picture so I could compare.

    Thanks for the reply. The area I'm referring to is the red line.

    I can confirm that there is no gap on my envy 15 where the red line is...

    Thanks again. I might as well take it in for an exchange at best buy since it hasn't been 14 days since I bought it yet.
