Rattling around camera lens.

My S3 has this rattle aswell, only noticeable if you tap it near the top, i took it back to the store and they opened 4 brand new S3's and used 2 customer S3's and they all did it lol so i dont worry about i, more annoyed the speaker cover is wonky on mine but i can live with that and have done so far.

I noticed this the day i got the phone, so 6 months+ ago.

It is definitely the camera, put the camera on and set the focus to something close and the rattle will go away.

Its the auto focus mechanism nothing to worry about.

My Nexus 4 has it, got me slightly worried at first but I found out soon after that it's either the SIM card cage or the autofocus on the camera. As long as it works, I'm fine

My 8x does it, and I simply don't care as the camera works fine

Thanks, now to try and learn to ignore it every time I lay my phone down on the table! I'm thinking a case would help, need to order one.

You have got to be joking? How are you hearing anything? Only sound I might hear when putting my phone down is the sound of it making contact with the surface! If the action of putting it down causes something to rattle then I can't see a case helping.
