My solution to the screen wobble

Yeah it was buggin me really bad. So bad that I was gonna trade it for a evo. But I gave this a try and it works great. I'm gonna remove the center strip though cause it gets in the way of the space bar. I still use my real keyboard on occasion and that strip bugs me.

But here's the pic. Like I said all I did was cut thin strips of the velcro fuzzy side and bent it around the curve of the phone. Works like a charm. I had to trim the fuzzy stuff a little cause it would hang out of the side of the phone.

Sorry for the crappy quality pic. I used my wife's junk Curve 2

Ah, cool-- When you described it, I was thinking the velcro would be stuck to the back of the screen (when the keyboard is out).

Anyone else do this mod?

If so, what were your results in the long run? Any negative to doing this?
 
Why on Earth would you do anything to hinder the use of that keyboard??? I, a Captivate user, am so jealous of that slide out keyboard. It hurts me to see you guys neglecting what you have haha.
Just sayin.
 
Ghetto?

This is my old phone.

And yes, that's a piece of pencil eraser scotch taped on replacing a button. The direction arrow ring is also held on by the scotch tape.

This guy is an artist compared to my old phone.. lol
