Anyone else have a W600 with a loose faceplate?

So I've noticed that my W600's swappable faceplate (the blue and the orange) seem to have a little bit of give to it just to the left of the middle of the screen (right near the play/pause button) and again just to the right of the walkman button. As far as I can tell, they're on snugly (all the tabs seem to snap in) but you can push down on it in those two spots and it will go in further and then when you release it it will come back up and make a slight noise. It's definitely the faceplate though so it's not a big deal, it's just annoying. Has anyone else noticed this?

When I had a W600, it didn't do that, so you may want to buy a different faceplate, it could just be your faceplates.

Otherwise, XBM.

Yeah I only noticed it the other day when I popped off the blue one to see how the orange looked and then I noticed that both the orange and the blue were loose in that spot. With the faceplates off there are no creaks or anything in the phone so it's gotta be the faceplates. I've tried putting them on in several different ways and they all fit the same so I think I'll swing by a Cingular store and check the display model and see what they think. If they think it's a phone issue I'll contact Customer service otherwise I'll just see if I can get some new faceplates somewhere.

Went to the Cingular store today and the w600 on display didn't have the issue with the faceplate. The woman let me put that faceplate onto mine to see if it was my phone or the faceplate and luckily it's just the faceplate. I think I must have recieved a bad batch since my orange one does the same thing. So I'm going to email customer care to see if they can send me new ones or if they can't I'll just get one one ebay (perhaps black?). They have tons of SE branded ones on there so I'll have to think about what color I want.
