How wobbly are your keys?

I know some of the early 5 models (which I think mine is) had problems with wobbly buttons.
I've only just noticed that my power button is looking a bit wobbly and I'm not sure if that's just how it is, it's a wobbly one, or my case (Spigen ultra slim) has somehow done a bit of damage.

Anyone else got a bit of wobble?

Edit: the volume rocker moves a bit less and has more resistance to moving sideways than the power button does
 
I ordered mine the first day of release and power button is rock solid (and it gets used a lot). :)
 
My first nexus 5 ordered on the day it came out had a wobbly power button, and I returned it due to a few dead pixels. My case, the same as yours, hadn't arrived so I never tried the defected phone with the case on.

Then my replacement came, no wobbly power button this time. After then using my phone for a couple months with the case on, i took it off to give my phone a clean, and noticed the power button had become wobbly.

So to answer your question, no i don't think it is the case damaging the power button and making it loose. Think it's just a poor design of the phone in that respect.
 
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid case so I rarely push the actual button. But to answer your question my buttons are solid. First gen Nexus 5.
