I'm in South Africa but my good friend bought it last weekend in San Fran at the MS Store
Everything seems perfect so far. Day 1 ....
This is the first one that's had no issues... almost zero backlight bleeding, chassis/glass is set perfectly (glass isn't depressed/chassis isn't raised and jagged), zero hint of hazy yellow line, and even the kickstand is stiffer. Think they're getting better at this
