    Its difficult to explain coz english not my native language.

    I worry not to to break case and lcd when open notebook. Coz when i open lcd panel bends under the camera. And when i open allways it make some sounds. Like case bends. So what you think? I always open to this special ledge under the camera. I take and lift it but i see that at this camera when i lift it case bends. And always that not good noise from the case.

    Do you have the premium (carbon-fibre) model? If so, I wouldn't worry too much because the lid is designed to handle torsional forces from opening and closing the lid for a long time.

    My SZ160 lid at the camera bends like that if I put enough pressure to open a can of coke. I get a very small gap/crack where the camera meets the screen.

    Who has not a normal sound when open a cover of the case? On carbon model.
    The sound goes where that in that place on additional fastening where the camera hangs.

    i've gotten the crack sound as well. I thought it was the top bevel on the carbon fibre cover. The side opposite to the LCD seems to have two parts - the main cover and a small piece across the top with the sony logo on it.

    I thought the sound was these two piees rubbing together.

    Yes. Exactly.

    It is interesting how many it will crackle before something will fall off it.
