Dang, my little rubber thumb button fell off!
 

Has anyone else lost theirs?
Its like the directional button is super hard to maneuver without it..

Has anyone come up with a good method to cut out a perfectly small round piece of rubber for fitting?

If so, please share.

yeah, I lost mine too. Not a big problem, but it is annoying.

I suupose a hole punch for leather would work if you could find some material. I was thinking of trying RTV gasket seal. The liquid plastic you could coat tool handles with would work great too.

Most user's who have lost them got some bling (jewels) al the local phone kiosk in their neighborhood malls.

I've lost mine too. What I did (and you'll find this funny) is take the little rubber foot off of a telephone base or anything that has little rubber feet to keep them from sliding around, and used a razor blade to trim it down. A little super glue later and I was back in business. My homemade job has lasted longer than the original!! :D

Hi,

Yeah, I have lost mine too and tried the blings as well. I was lucky to find this one guy who has some OEM ones with him. Pretty reasonable. I think he charged me $2 for it and another $2 for shipping.

I sure am happy to get the usability back without the metal pricking against my fingers. If you guys are interested, I can try and fish out his email address.

mine fell off and was sitting luckily on my hardware buttons. Noticed it when I pulled it out of my casing. This was well over a month ago and still have not put it back on. took some time to get used to it and still not 100perecent accurate. I will very soon put it back on

a nice black jewel would look good, but seeing as my thumb gets sweaty i'd lose grip easily.

see, ive tried the rubber footing, but my cutouts are always crooked.. not a perfect circle, then i end up chipping it all away until nothing is left.. lol

i wonder if filling it with that rtv gasket sealer would do the trick.
i'll try that as a last resort though..

see if you can get that guys email, an oem replacement would be great.
use gorilla glue to hold it on or epoxy.

I lost mine and just filled it with a few drops of gorilla glue, leaving enough room for expansion. Next morning, I just took a razor and trimmed it down to a nice little bump. Looks pretty cool, as it 's got that amber color to it.

nice! i might try that!

There are some threads on this over at PDAPhoneHome.com

I believe one of the better suggestions was using a piece of an eraser from a mechanical pencil.
And everyone suggested using superglue applied to the rubber NOT into the hole.


Good luck.
