The symptom is not visible in the first photo.

Agree with John, this is worse than I've seen in most where I've noticed it. Also, we both correctly interpreted the problem, so I guess your description was pretty good after all. Though pics do help express the extent.

Is the problem with bezel lifting strictly cosmetic? e.g. does the glass cover over the LCD move with it - does the image change when you press the bezel down into the groove as intended?

If not, then it probably can be simply, but carefully, glued down, using minimal glue to avoid running. I don't know 3m Super77, but can also suggest JB Weld - which is also quite 'thick' and won't run. I'd use slow curing glue and leave something heavy (or a mild clamp) to hold the bezel all the way "in" while curing. Let it cure for a full 24 hours.

Geoff - Other suggestions??

The Astech case in your photo looks correct. Exactly the same as mine, there is only the 1 small strip of 'rubber' as anti-skid so it wont slide when you use the case opened as a desk-stand. I also have one with this strip missing, been looking for some material to replace that. Suggestions anyone?
