A few places along the bezel of my Aura would creak and pop when I held it and moved my fingers around. After trying it out in a Aura sleepcover which I returned, it made the problem worse. Here is a quick solution that solved the problem for me.

I used a super fine hobby brush and painted some crazy glue into the seam around the top edge of the housing. I only applied it in the creaky areas, and very, very sparingly. Give it a quick wipe with your fingers immediately before it begins to dry to keep it smooth. A few minutes to dry and no more creak. The glue dries invisible but I did use a magic eraser to clean off a bit of residue that had a different sheen than the case.

Just wanted to put that out there in case it bothered anyone else.
