Creaking sound above CD drive - 15" PB

[aussie_geek]

hey all,

Had my powerbook about 3 weeks now and have now noticed a creaking sound above the slot where you insert a cd. The noise is not that obvious until you lean on it with a little pressure - has anyone else noticed this noise on their new 15 "?

Other than that this is a beautiful machine

Yes, I am getting this too. If you rest your palm above the CD drive a lot, the part of the bottom case above the CD slot will bend down, but the top case won't, so there is a gap between the case halves, and that is making the creaking sound. The only solutions I can think of are to either carefully try to pry the bent part back up or avoid resting your palm in that area. This is really a design flaw on Apple's part.
