iPhone 5 buttons

It comes with a one year hardware warranty. If the problems you describe are indeed, I see no reason that apple won't replace it through warranty.

 

If you do go ahead and take it to Apple, can you post to let me know what happened?

My lock and volume-up buttons feel strange sometimes, but I'm worried if I took to the Apple store, they wouldn't be able to replicate the problem.

 

Describe strange. They probably won't replace it if it "feels funny" to you. That's kind of a personal thing that might not feel strange to someone else. You need to show that it either causes a problem or maybe even potentially cause of a problem leading it to not work properly.

 

Mine has already been replaced due to a home button that often registered double clicks when clicked once.Whole exchange process took maybe 15 minutes.Don't worry,take it back.
BTW,I've owned every iPhone model and this is the first one with any kind of problem,FWIW.
Apple's service is second to none.

 

My i5 is holding up extremely well, the buttons are solid everything is solid

 

If you can take your iPhone into the Apple store and show them that the power button doesn't click right and the silent switch doesn't move smoothly, then they should replace it.

As for the chipped glass, you can do one of two things: either don't mention it and hope the genius doesn't notice or hand the iPhone to the genius in a way that they drop it so you can say "you cracked my iPhone! It wasn't my fault."

 

Not too sure about that.

 

my volume up/down buttons wiggle and if I lightly tap it, they make this soft clicking sound.. my lock button and home button are solid though

Do I freak out and try to get it swapped for a refurb? Nope

edit: all buttons work as intended
