    somthing is fouling the button. i think a bit of dirt or somthing got in there. it works. but 50% of the time is makes a horrible cruching noise. also it does not click correctly what's an easy way to fix this? if its not easy since im still under warranty can i take it to an apple store and have them quickly fix it?

    You could try a fine blower to apply into the seams but I don't think they're wide enough to make a difference.

    I'm not sure how easy it is to get to underneath the button without taking the whole case apart. I'd take it into an apple store.

    You could also continue crunching whatever it is in there until it becomes a fine powder with no more crunch. :p
