Do you find Akebono pads have play in them?

My mechanic put in the Akebono pads, no questions about how clean my wheels are but I hear and my mechanic verified that after 5,000 miles, there is play with the pads. They also appear on both sides of the car to sit much closer to the rotor at the hub side and have about an 1/8th of an inch of space between the pad and the rotor as you move out from the hub to the edge of the rotor, toward the tire. Very Strange, I've never seen anything like this. My mechanic did say when you depress the brake pedal, the pads press flat against the rotor but in the idle mode, they do appear strange? Anyone else notice this?
