mine has light leak on left as well. I had an iphone 3g and that leaked light worse than ipod touch 2g. a temporary fix was to get a mouse pad as a grip and to push the entire screen to the left. this would get rid of light leak for a day or two but will come back later. this is a very common issue among ipod touch 2g/ iphone 3g users.

I have a 2g and mine doesn’t have this problem…

Nor does mine die very quickly.

I guess I’m lucky.

Bizzar! I had the same problem as Adam but my screen was off centered and they sent my old one back to me saying I had no problems with it. I had to talk to the sales department to get a new one. The sent me a brand new one and took the broken one back. The whole process took about two weeks );

I called Apple, and told them I and the same problem. They sent me a replacement box. (all prepaid) So I put my ipod in the box and sent it back to them. Today I received my new product. A BRAND NEW ipod touch. I was so happy because mine had a bunch of scratches on it. Only the ipod was in the replacement box, no headhones, usb cable, or instructions. If you have this problem I would recommend sending it to apple, because they took care of me.

I just noticed it on mine as well. The edge is kind of bendy too, to the effct of closing the gaps if I push hard enough. I’m definetly calling apple tommorow!
