There are whiners and there are laptop owners. Sometimes those two can be combined into one individual.
Don't order the Smartcard reader and you'll most likely have a good experience like I've had so far.

I don't have a smartcard reader and I do have this particular creak. And don't call me a whiner!!

Get the HMM for the T410, pull the upper bezel off, put it back on and see if it improves. Unless something is magically special about your T410, then it shouldn't be any different from mine.

Okay I agree that some people are just impossible to please. However, this paritcular creaking issue IS pretty annoying. (In case anyone isn't familiar with it, I documented it in this youtube vid:

EDIT: I also do not have the smartcard reader
