creak

[eallan]

My Atrix is getting fairly "creaky" for lack of a better term. Anyone else have this issue? I notice it almost every time I unlock the device.

So, you mean when you push in the fingerprint sensor you can feel/hear the phone creak?

You got it. Putting any type of torsion on the phone makes a creak.

I haven't noticed anything yet. Is it just the back rubbing on the main body of the phone or does it sound like something inside of it? What kind of case you got on it? Is it possible it's the case rubbing up against the phone...kinda like a new dress shoe or something?

I had the speck cae and it was creaking when pushing the on/off button. Now I have the incipio feather and my creaking is gone.

No case. She's bare naked. I think part of it is the battery cover, may see if they'll swap one in store.

Yeah, I noticed this recently also. For me, just a gentle squeeze of the phone's sides will create a squeek.
I don't see this as a big deal (unless it gets much worse).

My phone is rock solid. Heavy use. No creaking.

I think all plastic phones will eventually creak, though. In fact, that was one reason I almost got the Inspire instead. In the end, specs. win.

I wonder if it has to do with the way the Atrix's battery cover comes off and is put back on. I could be way off, but to me, I'd think that would easily cause creaking down the road.
