Same problem here with my T61. I can wiggle it even more (1,5 cm) at the top.
This is pretty annoying when using the laptop in train etc.

Closing or opening the display completly is pretty hard compared to that: I need 
two hands to open the display, pressing the laptop down with one hand while 
opening it with the other one. If I used only one hand I would simply lift the 
complete machine.

Is that normal?


Best regards,
