It's not just this bottom piece that has*fit and finish problems. On most devices any time an*edge or corner is created the natural*sharpness is*"broken" by rounding the edge or using a chamfer. Not on the G5, though; every edge is a sharp as can be. After the initial cuts were made, there was no effort made to "clean up" the edges.*This is not only present in all*the little cutouts for the*USB port, headphone jack, and speaker but also for the shiny rear perimeter accent. The ring*around the rear of the phone creates a sharp edge that digs into your hand right at the corners of the phone.
In the same way you would test a knife's sharpness, you*can drag a fingertip across any of the edges*of the G5*and feel it scrape against your finger. I really want to take a metal file to the phone*and clean up the edges up*myself. The*sharp edges make the device feel unwelcoming and unpleasant to hold. Maybe these literal rough edges will wear down over time and the phone will become nicer to touch, but out of the box we're used to more refinement than this.
