Help Plastic for slide-away screen bending and making sound near power plug?

Hey folks,

I've noticed that at the top of my phone, where the battery handle slides aside, inside that little cavity/hole, the plastic seems to have weakened and makes a soft creaking sound and bends in slightly when I press against it. I've never dropped the phone and don't know what could have caused this, but I imagine it's because the plastic area where the charge shield slides into is hollow, it can easily be bent/damaged. Has anyone else had the same problem? I've only had the phone for two months and hope this doesn't get any worse.
