They're not sealed properly, so light leaks along the edge at those points (generally near the volume buttons, plus various other points). This could lead to dust and moisture seeping in. Moisture could trip Apple's sensor and void your warranty.
It's a hot topic at MacRumors Forums and has affected quite a few people. Most have been exchanging them; with some people making several exchanges. I bought a touch the other day and sure enough, it has two leaks along the edge. I will be returning it for another; and will keep exchanging until I get one that doesn't leak.
