you should get one of these...Thanks bro. It does...feels great! Only thing is...Im noticing alot of dust inside the housing between the LCD screen and the outside cover. Thought I read somewhere that there was a way to seal it. Either way I'm diggin it.

it will prevent dust from going in there and prevent scratches,works great04-01-09 12:07 AM - Ok...I took apart the phone again and compared the keypads. If you flip the stock keypad over it has little slits in between the keys. The keypad that comes with the housing does not. Im thinking that the slits allow it to move better when pushing the buttons. So, I put the stock keypad and tray back in and now it works great. There's no difference between the color of the keypads anyway.
I also put the stock trackball on because it just works better. The black trackball that came with the housing is just a tiny bit smaller therefore it's a bit loose.

Cracked my lens, dented my faceplate, and mushed down two of the keys. When I disassembled it to see the extent of the damage, I noted my motherboard and keyboard tray were still good, but the little stems on the back of my keys were squished, so I had to replace my keypad. Kept the OEM tray in it though. The aftermarket one looked identical, but somehow looked "cheaper" to me.
I did the same thing to my trackball ring, except I just sanded the chrome off. Its not shiny, but I kinda look the flat black look of it. Looks very stealthy!

Dont know if anyone has noticed the slits in the back of the stock keypad but it makes sense to me that this would allow it to "click" better. Flat black huh?...bet it does look stealthy.Glad to hear you got the issues worked out. I know what you mean with the keyboard, too.
