    I have used the FW since July 30 and I would post pictures of discoloration, BUT there isn't any! :eek:

    Can we continue to analyze this non existant issue, because the comments are fun to read, especially since there is No Problem, at least I'm pleased to say I haven't experienced any, and I carry my FW to Panera Bread, etc. It has been used, carried, transported and opened and closed. I have even removed many of the labels that Sony uses to cover their beautiful case. My case looks great, but please lets continue to discuss "the imaginary problem" that someone who does not have a FW says exists. This is so amusing. :D

    Smells like a Troll to me. The guy did a hit and run. It's hard to put much stake in that. And he complains about no rubber balls in the center of the lid but it has been established clearly that there are rubber standoffs on each side of the Motion Eye camera. Maybe the guy had a wrist watch on while typing away and that scratched the thing.

    I went and looked again at the new sony models in the SonyStyle store today, and

    Yes, all three had terrific screens;

    and yes, the FW - my soon to be baby - had two circular rubber feet.

    ***HOWEVER***

    they did seem a little on the small end to tell ya the truth.

    That microfiber cloth might be a good investment after all, as well as simple being reasonably conscious about how you handle your very own baby when it ARRIVES ANY DAY NOW!

    (tapping fingers, waiting on baby, knowing that this Vaio I am tip tapping on is also a perfectly suitable and beautiful machine while I wait)

    Yes the microfiber is a good idea and someone also mentioned using the packaging material. This can work good too.

    Can you rate the screens in your opinion?

    Which was best, second best?
