Something off on the back

So I was cleaning my Xperia Z with a micro fiber cloth and looking at it very closely, and as I tilted it I saw a tiny imperfection near the camera. it seems as the the glass is higher than the bezel just by a tiny margin on the top left of the device. I have already carried my phone through water tests and so aar it's been working great, but the lip worries me. Does anyone else see this on their device or is it just me being overly dramatic about it and my attention to detail is getting the best of me?

Above are images of what I'm talking about, I have never dropped my phone. I'm thinking that it's the processors heat that caused the glass to warp while I was taking alot of pictures, could that be the cause? because the front of the device is perfect and everywhere else is also. I'm just curious as to how this could happen.

Well, it could be the heat that could have make it unstick.

If i were you, i would bring it to the SAV, just to make sure, even if it might be nothing...

Edit : i just realize that you don't say "SAV" in English but something like consumer service

I would be very careful of this, it has been reported by another person on this forum

If you saw how to remove the back panel then you would unterstand what I'm saying, it requires heat applied using a heat gun which most likely softens a bonding seal round the edge then the back can be removed, the area on your device that is lifting is subjected to a lot of heat as this is where the CPU is located - the heat could be causing the bonding to weaken or the bonding wasn't applied correctly during assemby, either way I would keep the phone away from water until you get a chance to have it evaluated at a Sony service center

I've still been washing my phone and went fishing and had to retreive a pot and left it in my pocket while getting it it got wet by seawater, nothing have happened to my phone but the suggestions from you guys I will take into consideration and be mineful on how much water actually gets to the device. thanks for your input.
