Default iPad 2 light leak

I'm sure most have you heard there are a lot of new iPad owners out there who have severe cases of light leakage on their new device. Curious as to how many of you have the problem as well?

Probably quite a few.

It will be gone in a few days hopefully.

I have the issue. Will decide by next weekend if I will go exchange it.

On a separate note, I am once again the recipient of an iPad with a dead pixel (happened on my first one too)

I do have some light leak, but I don't think it is enough to exchange it. It doesn't really bother me, but I may go in and see what apple says.

I have some, but it doesn't bother me much. I can only see it if the screen shows a black background and I'm using it in a dark room. Because I have my Kindle app set for white text on a black background, the light leak shows up when I read before I go to sleep at night. Otherwise, I can't see it at all if I'm in a lighted room.

Not enough of a distraction to pursue a replacement.

There are some reports of this simply going away similar to the blotches from the adhesive not being fully dried. So there is a slight chance of this being the case. Can anyone confirm that it has gotten better or completely gone away after a few days?
