What's wrong with slight play in the sleep/wake button? I mean, do you know what the long-term impact of this will be? I was gonna ignore it as it seems very firm and precise just makes a slight noise when in shake the phone. I think the vol buttons may have a tad bit of play too...
Got a tip for us?

It's the crystal lens cover
It's the crystal camera lens cover. I placed my finger on the crystal cover and no more rattle. It's part of the design.

pretty ****** design if you ask me. Mine is so loud its not even funny... anyway replacement otw... will see
im at the apple store and the lady that checked me in said it could be the vibration motor and its somewhat normal....
my brothers shutter just stopped working. Im sure it had something to do with this rattle
This is not about some rattling. Its about the variance, and the extent to which some are. Thats all.
Well i didnt think it was a big deal and the Genius that helped me let many of her co-workers listen to it too and they heard it over the loudness of the store
She went to the back to tighten the vibration motor or something and came back out with a replacement. She was like "omg it's not supposed to do that" i was like "oh...." lol. I took a nice long look at the replacement with my glasses on while everyone looked on amused but i didnt want ANY scuffs or blemishes. So yeah im back to square one i appreciate them being on it. One of the reasons why im an Apple fan girl

My phone came with 3 medium-sized dents (2 on the front chamfered edge and 1 on the rear chamfered edge). I went and got it swapped out for one that doesn't have any dents or scratches.
Unfortunately, the sleep/power button is a bit looser and does rattle when I shake the phone. It doesn't bother me, so I'm not going to try to swap it now.

Yea... We're talking about the camera lens rattle. A more marble-like sound if you will
If 9 out of ten _______ do _______ , which would you conclude is the bad one? Just in general....
It's not just when you shake it tho... It's when you set it sown on a table and stuff too
It really isn't an issue. It's the camera optics inside the phone that's rattling. For auto focus and such...
I've replicated that on approximately 50 phones so far. I'm not concerned.
