Why is my (white) Lumia 950 back cover is creaking

[anon(5680040)]

Thanks, i guess i have to order a Mozo cover to get rid of this annoying creaking noise.

Mozo case creaks also.
I put sticks in the corners.
Problem solved

This is a BAD design job or quality control in manufacturing by Microsoft. C'mon, Redmond!! This is a (allegedly) flagship phone. Creaky shouldn't be a feature. The Lumia 735 is rock solid - no creaking or flexing. In fact, it took me a while just to figure out how to remove the 735 back to install a micro-SD card.

There is such a thing called "manufacturing tolerances" you know. With the quantities these phones are ordered it is a certainty that they are using a multi cavities mould. Or even multiple moulds. You will not get the same dimensions each time. For injection mouldings the standard is +/- 0.1 mm. That is around 0.004 inches for USA audiences. There is a reason it is called a "Statistical Quality Control". Or to paraphrase a popular saying, you can call it "Liar's Dimensions" if you prefer.

Yet the Lumia 735 shows no such aberrations. Face it - Microsoft rushed this one out the door and the sheer number of reviews, by both tech sites and end users, says this is not a statistical aberration. Nobody with LG flagship phones is complaining about this. Nor Samsung users. Lets hope Microsoft gets is right with the Surface Phone.
