{
	if( !inventoryActive )
	{
		if( Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Backspace) || actionButton.HELD )
		{
			// Showing the inventory grid and its items
			inventory.guiTexture.enabled 	= true;
			inventoryActive 				= true; // Used to check extra check if inside inventory before exiting inventory
			
	//  Moving inventory grid in
			while ( inventory.transform.position.x > 0.05 ) // move in
			{
			// 0.05 is the position it should stop at after sliding into screenview
				inventory.transform.position.x -= .01 * Time.deltaTime;
				//if x is smaller than 0.05 then moved too far in, make it equal to 0.05 and stop loop
				if( inventory.transform.position.x < 0.05 )
				{
					inventory.transform.position.x = 0.05;
					break;
				}
			}
            }

Update() is called every frame. You need to stretch your animation over multiple Update() calls. Something like:

function Update ()
{
	if( !inventoryActive )
	{
		if( Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Backspace) || actionButton.HELD )
		{
			// Showing the inventory grid and its items
			inventory.guiTexture.enabled    = true;
			inventoryActive                 = true; // Used to check extra check if inside inventory before exiting inventory
		   
			//  Moving inventory grid in
			inventory.transform.position.x -= .01 * Time.deltaTime;
			if( inventory.transform.position.x < 0.05 )
			{
				inventory.transform.position.x = 0.05;
			}
		}
	 }
}
