Based on Look4Coins post above, they are addressing it properly. I doubt they would extend your warranty since it's the warranty that is covering the faulty casing in the first place and they are making it right (at least it appears). I don't think this is like that Volkswagon fiasco, where they are trying to cover up anything, and it'll damage the brand name much. Holding off would be smart till they get it all settled and warranty the old/restock the new. It just sounds like it was a bad or cheap fabrication on the screen piece, maybe just the dimensions were measured a fraction of an inch off or the piece shrunk a tiny bit after setting? If they have been a solid manufacturer in the past and plan to have a future customer base, they will do the right thing.
From my reading,,,my unit is supposed to be one of the " restocked new units".
Yet is has the problem it does.
This detector has been released a while now,,,and the manufacturer still don't have their arms wrapped around it.
And to tops things off,,no clear way it seems to know which version exactly a person has.
A lot of this confusion,,,brought about by band- aid fixes without overall intense testing.
When this detector was ID'd as a problem child--- There was not that many detctors that had been sold,,,and if White's would have backtracked then and studied up on these units--- would have been much better.
But they chose to do band aid fixes,,and hurried and resent units back to customers,,,only for some to have to in fact be sent back.
And the " Needed correcting" stock dealers had,,,no clear guidance or information was given to potential customers as to their disposition so they could be corrected.
Many, many bad decisions here,,,a snowball of sorts. And the snowball has gotten bigger due to their poor actions and decisions.
I even ask about this very thing over at the White's forum,,,no real answers or discussion ever took place on these issues.
