Kobo Clara HD clicking noise from back?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0h1ZwA08jc

I just purchased a Kobo Clara HD a couple days ago and noticed there was a slight clicking noise whenever I pressed down on the back and lifted my finger back up. It sounds like there's some sort of glue/tape/adhesive that only makes contact with something when I press down, and when I lift my finger back up it stops sticking creating the clicking noise.

Can anyone else who has a Clara HD test it out real quick to see if anyone else has this minor nuisance? I've tried taking off the back cover and it doesn't seem to happen when I press against the PCB board. The noise only seems to happen when the cover is on and pressed on.

I was able to fix this by cutting up a thin foam sleeve and placing it behind the cover.

Sounds to me like the back has Not Snapped into place. Remove the foam & squeeze them together.... my son has to do it for me. That last catch I just cant get...
