Anybody else's phone creaks when squeezed?

I know, this is due to a plastic build. It seems to be due to the back case that's causing it. It doesn't happen often, but at times I can certainly feel the phone creak. Though its got me thinking, is it just my phone or does others creak in a similar matter also? I didn't really expect this from such a high end device, but eh I guess I gotta learn to live with it.

I guess I could cover it up by getting a case that encases the phone, or see if I can find another back casing.

For what its worth, mine doesn't but as you say its plastic and im sure it wont be long before mine starts. I forgot to swap my MicroSD card out of my old phone when I got the phone and now im scared to take the cover off to put it in because that battery cover is so thin and flimsy.

No creaking here. I did catch one of the buttons while squeezing and it triggered the haptic feedback :) but no creaking. The rear panel feels flimsy when detached, but when in place the phone feels reasonably solid to me.

Maybe that's cause you're used to the Touch HD?

I'm gonna make the switch from a Touch HD to the Galaxy S as well.
Seriosuly though, my Touch HD creaks only when handled in a certain way, maybe the same is true for the Galaxy S?

Regards.

lol, yeah maybe

I also have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and the case for that creaks way more than any noise I can get from the Samsung.

It happens to me sometimes when I try to get a better grip
The first few times I almost **** myself thinking I broke something

Mine seems to creak when I press the top bit of the phone (just above the grill thing above the Samsung logo), and sometimes at the sides also when I pick it up. It's not that bad, but I have terrible, terrible OCD and this can bug me sometimes.
