So when i tap the top part of the phone on my hand, theres a rattling sound i hear inside the phone... very weird. The bottom part doesnt have any noises. I went and asked at the ATT store today and they had no clue. I checked other iphones on display and they all have it.... does yours have it? My old 3G has it too.
 
I am on my 3rd iphone and they have all done this (swapped out for issues other than the rattling). I think it has something to do with the camera lens. I think they all do it.

If you have a kid give it to them... Most expensive baby rattle ever!
 
Haha nice. Well at least its nothing like the new BB Torch, the slider rattles when in the closed position, feels so loose like its about to break off. :(
 
I found my rattle...

I took the case off and isolated the rattle: for me it's the power button at the top that has started jiggling back and forth. Gonna keep an eye on it...

You're right man, it's not the camera lens, it's a loose fitting lock/power button. I took mine in to see about it, because I was finding it incredibly irritating. The genius guy showed me that a few of them did more or less the same thing. Evidently the shape cutting of the lock buttons is a little inconsistent. It's worse on my second iP4 than it was on it my first. I'd recommend getting a bumper, as that pretty much stops it moving around.
