Help galaxy screen lifting.

The screen is lifting out of my galaxy s4 from the bottom right corner. Its very annoying. What causes this and what is the cure? Samsung customer service and repair is too inconvienant. Thinking of going back to iphone again.
 
Without seeing it it's impossible to say what the cause might be - manufacturing defect, mechanical or thermal damage. Is it delaminating, or is the display assembly separating from the midframe? All I can say is that it isn't a common or widespread problem.

As it's a mechanical problem then I'm afraid that the only fix is a repair of some sort. If your warranty is void (or you don't care about voiding it) you could look at screen replacement guides, compare their steps with your situation and see whether you can do it yourself, or find a local repair shop. But as Funky says if it is under warranty I'd probably get them to do it (assuming it's a defect rather than damage).
 
It looks like he glass and the screen are both lifting up. Just ordered a case that has a lip, i hate cases but ill put this off atleast until next summer
 
So no one has saw this before? Theres not much too see, just the edge of the glass is lifted up past the plastic trim, and it catches my finger. I called samsungs customer service, they are very lacking. They said send it in and they will eventually look at it. When the home button stopped working on my iphone, apple sent me another iphone the next day. I sent the broken one back in the box, all express shipment paid for by apple, then they fixed it and sent it back to me. Customer service says alot about the integrity of a company. I like this design alot, but the customer service appears to be aweful. It took 7 minutes of menus, and listening to advertisements before i was put on hold to speak with a representative.
