Well mine sat a little below the rest of the body, and mine was not glass, it was plastic.
I can be fussy too at times, and the thing that kind of disappointed me about the BS1's quality was when i was in the room with it, and ejected a CD, the plastic parts creaked! Yuck! That's what i don't miss about it, i wasn't keen on the feel of the plastics and i don't really understand why they didn't use better materials (the soft touch plastic and a bit of glass would've made a huge difference)
