Is it worth it to get a replacement?

[dricky]

So I've had my phone for two weeks now and I've noticed I have light leakage and a really annoyingly bright dead pixel. The light leakage is getting more visible pretty quickly.
I understand that light leakage is due to screen separation, but I want to know how bad it can get and if it will cause some other problems down the road.
I personally hate having defects on any of my things but I don't really want to go through the hassle of setting up my phone again if the light leakage thing isn't going to really cause any problems...

So to sum it up,
-How bad can light leakage get (and how far can the screen separate)
-Is it worth it to get it exchanged
-What other problems does the screen separation do.

but I want to know how bad it can get and if it will cause some other problems down the road.

I had one come completely apart, see image in this thread:

and a really annoyingly bright dead pixel.

that alone would make me return. Realize that pixel will be there for the life of the phone, and will never go away. Take it back now and dont worry about it again.

but I don't really want to go through the hassle of setting up my phone again

it really doesnt take that long. I have over a hundred apps, and am rooted, and it takes me less than 2 hours to fully restore my phone.

I understand that light leakage is due to...

-How bad can light leakage get (and how far can the screen separate)
The light leaking can get as bad as mine, where it's clearly visibly in broad daylight. The screen can actually come clean off, as sitlet has provided clean, photo evidence of.
-Is it worth it to get it exchanged
Oh hell yes. If you've got major issues, you can only look up to better things.
-What other problems does the screen separation do.
Crap gets under the screen, and into internal components. The screen can fall completely off, and it can be caught on things like your pants while removing it to use it, possibly causing you to inadvertently rip the screen off or break the glass, depending on if you went HULK when you took it out of your pants. Your phone I meant.

derp derp

Never think that. You paid good money for a device that is supposed to last, and should be put together correctly. You wouldnt buy a new car with a windshield thats coming off and not take it back to get it fixed.
