Source of creaking discovered

The source seems to be stemming from the heat issue, causing the body to expand I believe... Mine only clicks when its hot.

How many of your phones "click" when pressed near the top

No I don't think that is the causing issue. I think the original rush units to meet release date hand slight defects in them (well some). My original L920 had that clicking hot or cold. My replacement L920 does not.

I have to admit mine 'creaks'. But it's because I dropped it on the top-right corner and dented it. Check my posts to see the pic. Overall, the polycarbonate shell is a tank. If yours creaks or allows any give it is probably due to it being dropped or heat temporarily warping the case as akiman suggests.

Mine is a week 43 release with a creak on the top, but I don't notice it since I rarely ever press down on the top of the device in a normal day. In a way its like that comedy sketch, "Doctor it hurts when I do this" Doctors response: "well don't do that".

I think the source is there is little support at the micro rca jack on the top of the phone. That is the only place mine does it when I investigated. It's not an issue, it's not like always put a lot of pressure on the top plate constantly. I don't really see this as a real problem. It's no big deal really.

I think Lancguy hit it on the head. That is the only place mine "clicks". I wouldn't have noticed but since I show these posts I pinched it and the click is there. I, too, feel this is a non-issue for me.
