I don't know how statistically prevalent it is, and where you'd get it varies. Sounds great that you don't have to deal with it either before or after.

For me initially it was around the usb port when I press down on it. Nowadays, I get it when I do a twisty motion with both hands while holding it, but I've had it for well over a year, and it has experienced a couple of bumpy falls in the meantime.

Mine creaks when I squeeze the right grip a certain way. Nothing terrible, but noticeable.

Same! In the exact same spot as well (right grip)

I also have this creaky spot! Crazy.

Has to be a small defect in the molds

Taking the screws out and re-torquing them correctly seems to fix that, at least it did for me.
