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.
Thanks for the tip. Since it's been a long time from application of glue, have you encountered the same squeaking thing again? What should be done if there's a need to open up the device for battery replacement or anything else?
