Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

Hi everyone! I was recently able to get my hands on the medium Classic Flap but I wanted to see if you guys think it looks okay. I followed some of the lists I found on here on what to inspect in terms of the quality of the bag. I think everything looks fine in terms of no crooked flap/CC, loose or popped stitches, worn corners, cracked or peeled leather, etc. But, I can't tell if it's shiny or matte as I'm not aware of how it's supposed to look like. But the biggest thing I've noticed, is that there's an air pocket inside the lining and on the side? It feels puffed up. I've heard mixed things about it being normal and will flatten with use but also that it's not and that there are some classic flaps that are more flat. Please let me know what you guys think! Should I keep or return with the air pockets? Thank you very much in advance!

I wouldn't mind keeping it. I'm usually ok with an air pocket inside :)
 
Hello,

I'm going to purchase it, but I've noticed this part which seems protruded. It doesn't look like a defect, possibly due to tight stitching.
However, does it bother you guys? :(
I appreciate your opinions/suggestions.

Hi all, I recently purchased a mini reissue from Fashionphile. When I got it I noticed the inner lining is shorter than the overall height of the bag. It's actually quite a large gap such that the bottom of the inside kind of "hammocks" and can't really lay flat since there is no support from the outside of the bag. Is this normal? I know the reissues are suppose to be foldable so I thought maybe the space at the bottom is to allow the sides to fold in without bulge but I don't want to just make up reasons in my mind lol. Debating if I should return it or not. I got it slightly below retail, in pretty good but not new condition.
