My new iPad has started creaking...

A couple of days ago whilst reading something on my iPad 3 I noticed a creaking noise coming from the back plate around the apple logo.

It's mainly when I hold it in the classic position .. both hands on the device, thumbs on the bezel with fingers around the back.

It makes this noise now with just the slightest touch and is beginning to drive me crazy.

It's almost as if something behind the case has come away.

Does this happen to anyone ?

Looking at the inside of the iPad online I noticed there's glue sticking the battery to the back of the case.
I have a feeling this has come loose or there isn't enough glue.

Would apple sort this if I take it in or not??

Take it in to an Apple store and see what they say. There's a good chance they'll just swap it if it's faulty.

Yes they will as you are still under warranty. They will likely give you a new one. Did you drop it?
