LG Nexus 5 - Volume button rattle

Hey guys,

I got a Nexus 5 from Walmart (Koodo promotion) a few days ago and this morning i noticed a weird rattling noise while typing. Turns out it's the volume button which rattles if you shake the phone. Seems to be a common problem on older Nexus 5's which was supposedly fixed with newer models.

Can i take it back to Walmart and ask for a replacement? Will the warranty cover this issue? It's not a big deal as such but kind of annoying especially with a brand new phone.

P.S. I haven't used the mintues/text/data limit mentioned on the contract for a full refund.

Go back to Walmart and ask for another one.

FYI, i got the phone replaced though it was quite a pain. Had to return it and then go through the whole process of getting a new one. So any Nexus 5 buyers beware of this issue and check for it before getting the phone. Btw, Walmart still has the gift card deal going on, they've brought it down to $100 though.
