Was it just a case of pulling off the front cover? How good a fit is the replacement? How genuine do you think it is? I'm considering ordering one as I fell over and took a good chunk out of my joystick - Luckily the case I had on the phone saved the rest. Being in Australia I don't want to fork out the extra cash for O/S delivery if the fit is poor. Can you/or someone provide some good close up photos? |

Thanks. I'm in Australia and it would seem that MobileFun don't ship here. There certainly isn't any option to add Australia to the mandatory address. I've emailed them to check. I'd still like to see a good close up shot of the installed product if someone would be kind enough to provide one. |

O.K. I've ordered mine from CNN.CN. jcr11 - I'm guessing there is no need to remove back cover - was it just a case of undoing the 2 torx screws and prying off front cover? Is the joystick then easily pulled out or do you have to lift the keypad circuit board? I'm only going off photo's I've seen of a K750 being pulled apart so I'd like to be pretty sure of what I'm doing before I attempt it. |

It happened to me as well before, tried to put it back but I can't seem to stuck it in even with a glue. I decided to let it be like that.
