I have two S6's and had one S6 Edge. The first one and the Edge was bought in 2015, the second one in 2016 (don't ask me why I have two S6's and had one Edge).
All three of them has/had lose buttons and they do not always work when you press the button from the corners, which I think is pretty normal.

Home button loose

Does anyone else have loose home button on their phone? It makes noises when you lightly tap on it and doesn't sound too good. I've also went to the T-Mobile store today and noticed my home button is more flush than the both display models they had. Anyone else face the same issue?

If it feels off go in and have them pull out a brand new one. When there in store. If yours feels off, have it replaced! I do this with any new phone. I tediously inspect it. If I think something feels off I have them show me a new one and compare. That way I can show them right then and there, this is why you're going to give me another phone lol

I have a feeling my front glass is slightly misaligned. Will be checking the store model to make sure, as the corner by the back button seems a bit sunken in. The frame definitely comes up over the glass a little.
I was just in the Samsung Experience Store and noticed that of the four regular S6s they had, three had loose homebuttons. The Edges seemed fine though.
My t mobile version is a bit loose as well. It feels like a minor issue but it is pretty annoying....
I picked up my S6 this morning and have noticed that a light tap on the home button makes a noise. It's annoying and it makes an otherwise solid feeling, quality phone feel cheap. I guess I'll try taking it back to see if I can get another one that doesn't have this issue.
The frame is suppose to slightly overlap the screen by the way
I actually returned my T mobile version for another, and the other has the exact same loose button
Well i noticed it after you guys wrote about it here. I have a S6 32Gig White, a friend has a S6 64gig Black version, i checked his S6 and he doesn't have this issue.
But honestly, it is not like i tap on the button all the time, you can only hear it if you slightly tap on it. If you fully press it, you don't even hear it. It is also not like it makes any sounds when moving the phone, therefore i am not going through all the pain to get this replaced just to receive another one with a loose button

Yeah, if I didn't have this Edge without the issue it might not bother me so much
I went back to the T-Mo store and their display model had it. One of the guys opened another one up for me and it too was affected. I ended up walking out with the phone I had. Not gonna make them open a bunch of boxes until they find one that doesn't. At this point the ratio makes it seem like the loose button is normal and any that aren't are the odd ones. Ah well.

That's unfortunate. Perhaps I'll keep mine for a while and deal with it then swap? Wait on a different production run or something.
Mine is nice and tight, but already scratched up. I mean my fingers are rough but jeez. Some soft material on there.
mine seems pretty solid, sorry to hear you should defintely bring it back

Ugh, again though?
I guess...
Well i was wrong about it not bothering me It started annoying me after you guys wrote about it...
I went to a T-Mobile store to check if the devices had the same problem, and yes 2 of them had, 1 did not...
Dunno if it is worth to send it back now and wait up to 6 days to receive a replacement that has probably the same issue -.-
P.s. After pressing the button down very hard a few times, the right side stopped making noises, the mid now also seems to be fine, it can only be heared if touching the very left side of the button...
Same issue here. The left side of the home button rattles a little bit when i press lightly on it. Should i exchange or is it normal?

Galaxy s6 Scratched Home Button out of box!

Hello, I am have seen some other complaints about the scratched home buttons on the galaxy s6 out of the box. Mine has this but is pretty small. I was just wondering if I should go back to the store and get a replacement. Thanks! I have uploaded an image to show you.
Here is link to image tinyurl.com/gs6img
Had that same problem on the Note 4 I had took it back got it replaced, when your paying alot out for a Smartphone you expect it to be perfect condition when buying new out of the box.

Thanks! I'm just trying to see if it is worth it to get it replaced for that small scuff on the home button. Everything else on the phone is perfect.

[Q] Should I replace my galaxy s6?

Hello! I've had my galaxy s6 for 2 months now, and I'm faily happy with it (mainly due to the great camera). However, my galaxy s6 have a few quality issues. First and foremost my home button is loose, which makes the impression of quality far less than if it had been stiff and firm as some other galaxy s6's I've tried. However I've seen quite a few people suffer with this, so is it any great chances of getting one without it?
Secondly, my IR blaster has a bad cutout in the aluminium.
Thirdly, my screen somethimes gets to an extreme brightness which makes the black levels go zero to none.
So is it worth go to the store and get an replacement or get them to try and fix it?
I'd get it changed if the button is loose never mind the other stuff
Yes, I'll probably have a talk with them. Anybody else who have thoughts about this? Is your home button firm?

Mines sturdy, you've not got a clone have you because one of the things which give those away is the loose button

Homebutton Issues

Hi Guys!
I recently changed from the good old N5 to the S6. Pretty happy so far, but there's one bummer for me. It's the Homebutton.
For me it only works when I hit the center and it does feel a little bit wobbly. Sometimes I hit the Homebutton and the screen doesn't start just because I didn't hit it in the center.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

yes it happened to me. It is common problem as far i can see, some of my friends have a little loose button, some a little bit more and some don't have any issues. It was really frustrating but i changed my immediately at the store and now everything is perfect with my phone. One friend didn't get a new phone but they repaired the first one and now it is okay. I only encountered that problem with the normal S6, not the edge version

Home Button on S7 vs S7 Edge?

Tried in the Edge forum but didn't get an answer.
Anyone have both an Edge and regular S7? Or compared the Home buttons?
I have an Edge and my mrs an S7. The home buttons feel different. My edge has a button that is more raised (sits higher against the surrounding than the S7) and as a result has a slight bit of movement or play.
Her S7 button is solid. I'm trying to find out if this is a difference between the models or if I have a dodgy home button. It functions fine, but I prefer the button on the S7.
I believe it is a design difference, same situation here wife has S7 I have S7 Edge. I seem to recall her home button does not sit as high as mine. She isn't here right now or I would confirm, but if memory serves....

I have both the S7 and Edge, the Edge had a home button that sat higher but it seems to have settled and is not 100% the same as the normal S7.
I swear when I first got them I saw the same thing that you mentioned but it is gone now.
My s7 home button had some play in it on the left side but it has mostly gone away
