The battery plate is loose and ive put some tape on the back and it has stopped moving and feels solid now, however it doesnt quite suck down comepletely at the very bottom and lifts ever so slightly. The metal lining on the bottom half of the phone which wraps around the slide/keyboard isnt snug aswell, it kreeks and makes noise when I use the physical keyboard. The O.S on this phone has been rock solid and it seems ******** to return it because the device feels loose, but at the same time I find this very bothersome.
The battery door is a simple fix. Look at the the bottom back of the device, you should see 2 arrow looking pieces of plastic. Simple bend those outward and your battery door will be tight again.

Ive never had to return a phone before and exchange it. I bought it on november 3rd, so what happens when I go into rogers?
The last phone I got died after two days. I took it in, they looked at it and tried to fix it then just swapped it out for a new one. Took it out of the box, checked to make sure it was working and sent me on my way, no questions asked. That was with AT&T but I can't imagine it'd be much different anywhere else. Now's your time to do it, if for any reason you're unhappy swap until you are!

Oh but be weary.
I went through 3 swaps.
1st one: Wobble when closed (heavy wobble!)
2nd one: Dent on edge of screen (yes sounds ridiculous, but it was as if someone took a key to the screen!)
3rd one: Wobble when open (progressively heavy -- swapped on 2nd week)
4th one: creaking battery plate
Bending plastic tabs to me doesnt sound like a good time. I talked to rogers today and they are sending me a brand new torch. The keyboard had this annoying creak to it and that was really my reasoning for it. This phones slider felt really nice, not loose at all and very sturdy. Hopefully the next one is like this.

You do realize that after several times of pulling the cover off it will loosen up after time?
Bending the tabs will tighten it up again. There thin plastic and will eventually bend inwards making your cover loose.
Your not technically bending anything out of it's original shape, more like putting it back to it's original shape. If you are thinking this will not happen on your new device after time, your only fooling yourself.

Did you not read the part about the creak? or are you a rehtard? I work with plastic all the time, Keep bending it and eventually it will snap. PM me when this happens to yours so I can laugh.
Suppose I'm a "rehtard" or is that a ******? You may pm me when yours creeks again and your carrier wont replace it because your out of your warranty time.
You were bothered by the battery door, I posted a known fix for this. Simple as that. Calling names accomplishes nothing. Take your attitude elsewhere, or next time fix it yourself.
FYI...
The creak is the bezel around the keyboard. not the actual keyboard, been posted about several times.
