I provisioned several hundred x220's for the school I was working at, figuring they were the most bomb-proof thing at the time. The lid section you're talking about was definitively not bomb-proof. Thankfully, it didn't make much difference to the operation of the laptop, but still pretty annoying.
Good to know I wasn't just unlucky.
Did you find any typical repairs for the lid section?
(I haven't opened up my wiggly units yet, but I guess probably it got banged, and either screws were stripped out of their holes, or some internal plastic piece snapped.)
Sorry, no repair. Didn't really affect function though.
For anyone who was wondering, and finds this thread... Looks the fixes tend to involve opening up the lid assembly, and epoxying small new pieces of material across the two lid pieces.
