My VZW iPhone Rattles

I wouldn't be so quick to judge that. I just tested the sleep/wake button by holding it down and then shaking the phone and I didn't hear a rattle. Without holding it down, I hear a semi-rattle.
If your sleep/wake button is that loose - take it back. Same goes for the silent switch.
Any "rattling" beyond that, is in the camera and again, it's normal.
It's a damn button, its suppose to move and I'm not complaining. I was just saying what I found out with all the people complaining about the rattle.
Don't tell me what I hear and what I don't. I held the sleep/wake button down and it wasn't making any noise. I let go and then shook it again, and it has a semi-rattle to it - THAT I DON't CARE ABOUT.
Went to the Apple Store today and they agreed about the loose sleep/power button. Happily exchange it for a new one.
The new phone has no rattle at all. Nice and quiet...as it should be.

Oh Crap! I just tried to furiously shake my new IP4 from Verizon and I don't hear a rattle like everyone else! I think I will call Apple and Verizon to complain that mine doesn't rattle like it should and maybe get a replacement phone that will rattle!
I am so disappointed with the build quality of Apple... all iphones should rattle!

Give it a few weeks of using the silent/ring button loosing it up a bit and you will hear the rattle again..

I was about to say the same thing. It's more than likely he or she does not own any of these items.

mine (VZ iphone) makes a rattle, its prominent with the Sleep/Wake button.
The only other rattle i hear is faint if put my finger over the sleep/wake is within the camera mechanism.
I'm not sure if the sleep/wake button is loose as i gently tap it (not pushing/holding down), makes a clicking/rattle sound

Take it to the Apple Store
I just switched from Verizon and I had the same problem with my iphone4. The first iphone 4 I had with AT&T was stolen three weeks after I got it, but I never had a rattling problem with it, and my husband's didn't rattle either. When I finally got a new iphone, it rattled horribly. It started out with a slight rattle and within a few days, escalated to the point that I was afraid my phone would break. I took it into the store and the Apple store Specialist took my phone apart. It wasn't any of the buttons or the camera - it was behind the screen but not in the back of the phone. They swapped my phone immediately, and the phone didn't rattle.
When I went to get my Verizon phone, I make them let me gently shake it before they even turned it on to activate to make sure I didn't have that problem - the phone was fine. Frankly, between the no rattling and the feel of the buttons, my V phone seems like it's better made and more solid, but again, on AT&T not all phones are created equal either.
It may be the camera, but it may not be. In my case, they said something was definitely wrong and swapped it asap. I would take it in and let them look at it just in case - that way if there is something wrong that will eventually cause a functionality problem, they can't blame it on something you did. Hope this helps.
