If I press the back + front of my phone at the top, I hear a creaking sound. I could have sworn this is a new sound as of today.

Does everyone else's phone do this?

Put your phone on table. Press super hard on the phone and hold for a sec. Does it still make a creak?

mine creaks when I squeeze the top and bottom and a light twist, I need to wear it in and a light rattle inside holding power,vol in its place

since my unit isn't a solid piece, your bound for a creak or two, I'm not fussed, the device will be opened and inspected for quality after its warranty,

Was absolutely solid at first days! (except a liitle creaky volume rocker which is common for almost every plastic device) but after a week of use it started to creak at the bootom in the area to the left and to the right of usb port. When pressing on screws and somewhere close . Too bad I haven't tried to search for creaks but felt this in real use , when holding my phone by two fingers at the top and bottom :(

Mine creaked mainly on the bottom right and top left. I loosened off the bottom left screw (t5 torx bit), squeezed the phone and re tightened the screw back up again and it's fine now.

It worked for me as I reported on here. You'll only need to slacken the screws off slightly, no need to remove it.

Is there a solution of that creaky noise at the bottom near the USB-Port? Btw. where does it come from this creaky noise? Hollow space?
