iPhone 5 volume buttons click twice when pressed.

I know this sounds odd but when I barely touch my volume buttons they make a clicking sound. It's almost as if they are 2-stage buttons that have a "half-click" before they are pushed all the way in. I noticed this to be very different from my iPhone 4. I'm just wondering if this is something that is normal with the new design or, if not, something that will go away with use. Anyone else have this issue? This is already my second iPhone 5...my first had a shattered screen right out of the box.

Thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Hi. I know it's been a while since you had this issue, but I just got a new iphone 5 with the same problem. The UP volume button clicks twice if not pressed precisely in the center, and actually one of the two "clicks" takes the volume down, so you end up where you started. Bummer for Apple manufacturing quality!

Hi.

I have the same problem as you, JLMG. When I push the + volume button the volume sometimes goes down. This happens especially if the push is on the lower right side of the button. I have checked with other iP5's and they do not have this issue.

This, on top of really bad call quality...
