Can I get a refund or replacement for this case… is it possible?

@Payton
It would never be the phone. These tolerances are so small.

I’ve seen some pretty defective models right out of the box, to be fair.

You can return or exchange it but don’t expect to get a good one (but maybe you will?). This is very common and maybe all cases have this issue. I went through three cases at three different sources (Amazon and two different Apple Stores) and all cases had this issue.

@Ellery
Nah, I decided not to risk it and just got a refund.
