Help Help with in-call volume front Vs. back

I think I've found a new problem (or my search skills really suck.)

I noticed today that I have a lot better call volume if I hold the back of my phone to my ear (camera side). If I hold it like I normally do (screen side to head) I can barely hear anything at all.

I've power-cycled the phone, checked my settings, turned speakerphone on and off, changed call volume to max during a call, etc., etc. I'm pretty new to Android and the Optimus V (not rooted or anything), but this seems really effed up to me.

Anyone have some thoughts or notice the same thing? If not, give it a try and see. Call a number and listen to each side of the phone.

Any help or info is greatly appreciated, thank you!
