Well, I'm a month into my 8820 and so far, no creaks. The sides seem to be on very tight, unlike the 8800's I've felt in the past. But only time will tell. I can live with the creaks better than the dust. Also, my wife dropped her nice clean shiney red 8310 on the concrete today and she now has 2 nice scratches on the right side.
