Default should I glue my blackberry back together? :)

Please Login to Remove!

no, seriously...

I've got a tmo curve and I actually bought it used. My pearl was soooo old and just worn out and I had my heart set on a bold or storm (but they unfortunately didn't come to tmo). I won't leave tmo (at least for now) because I get unlimited data (bberry, email, text, internet, etc..) and 600 minutes for less than 70 bucks a month My contract has been up for over a year now and I won't upgrade bc I have to sign a new contract.

Well the top left corner of the face of the bberry was cracked, and now a piece of the corner has broken off about 1inch by 1half inch.

I keep it in a rubber skin so it's not even noticeable but I'm sure a big gaping hole in the unit can't be good for the insides It stays in my pocket and it's always rolling around in lint and other junk.

I found the piece in the bottom of my drier and it fits right back in. As a matter of fact it almost stays in place by just being set back in

Would there be any adverse effects from super gluing it back on?

It's just plastic as far as the case is concerned. A couple of drops of 'CrazyGlue' should do it, especially if the pieces fit nicely back together.

Instead of glue you could always use duct tape. Duct tape will fix just about anything.
See you later gator
