No, I just ordered and received mine a couple weeks ago on November 18. At first mine was completely solid, but now the back definitely creaks even when holding it lightly. It doesn't bother me a ton, but it does make the phone feel cheap. I returned a Nexus 6P because I didn't like the screen (I think LCDs are superior and prefer them) and man do I wish the Nexus 5X was built the same way. The 6P feels super nice and high quality. Still, I enjoy the 5X more even though it feels cheap, is a little slower, and gets worse battery life. The screen is the part of the phone that you're always looking at, so if I'm not happy with the screen it kind of ruins the entire phone for me, even if the rest of the 6P is insanely good.
