lufia1, that's weird, my joystick has never creaked. I don't know what could cause it to do such a thing. I would suggest gently moving it around in a circular motion to all of the extremes a few times to make sure it is properly seated, and maybe blowing/cleaning it out with compressed air, just in case there's something stuck under there that's rubbing and causing the creaking. There's always the possibility that your phone is getting old/worn, and a slight flexing of the plastic case is causing rubbing, and therefore creaking. Do you use it heavily?

i really wanna order one but would it ever come off the joystick?

I'm curious if these will fit on a T637? It's not explicitly mentioned and since it's a rather old model, I'm not sure if the joystick is the same as either the K750 or W800 joysticks.

just give it a good pull cautiously. i did many times.

[maxh2]

It won't fall off accidentally, but if you want it off, a firm pull will remove it.

Unfortunately, I don't think it will fit a t637, as it looks like a completely different joystick. Square, rather than round. Almost all of the recent and current Sony Ericsson joystick phones have the same joystick (onto which it does fit) though.

Although, I suppose there is a remote possibility that the distance from corner to opposite corner of the square joystick might be the same as the diameter of the round joysticks. I sure wouldn't bet on it though.

Here's a pic of a t637:

nah i don't use it alot. It squeaks abit when i move up. Tried rotating it. I see what happens, if it gets worse which i think is very unlikely i guess i have to try your compressed air method or just open it to see whats causing it.

Now that i think about it, the squeaking happened before i started using the joystick . Just relized the tiny squeaking when comparing the phone with my friends. its not a problem, sometimes im just picky

Just got a 2nd gen cap for my k800i. Had a 1st gen one but didn't quite like the look. This one suits the phone much better, looks so much better than standard too. Also feels better than the 1st gen one, more 'grippy'.

Only complaint was that it seemed almost slightly too big, not that it fell off or anything, but it sat kinda low. The top of the joystick was protruding slightly and it looked a little odd. I'm guessing this has something to do with having the original cap on for a while, perhaps scraping the tiniest amount of the joystick?

anyway, I put a small amount of sellotape around the joystick to thicken it up slightly and it works like a charm, fits perfectly and looks fantastic. Thanks a lot!
