How long is the distance between the screen and the bezel? You could cut some Acrylic and make a screen cover.

Heck, you could probably use a transparency sheet if space is that much of a premium. Get one from Kinkos for like $0.75

That's actually a good question...!
You can find a 1/32" (0.8mm) thick acrylic sheet easily. would it actually fit in there with all the parts? Or go even better with a phone tempered glass protector, which are roughly 0.3mm thick...

Do we really need a screen cover? I mean, the case closes. Protected. Or are you looking for aesthetics?

I suspect a 1/32 sheet may not fit.

However, if you *need* a screen protector, you could always just swap out the 3D printed bezel with a laser-cut acrylic part. Raster cut around the screen so you can mask it off and paint around it, if you don't want the whole bezel to be see-through. Or cut out some thin sheet plastic or paper to mount behind it - maybe a cool, arcade-style screen surround.

I was looking at the 1200mAh battery that came in and it's only sightly thinner than the 2000mAh battery I had sitting around intending to go into another project. How much is battery thickness an issue with this build? I tried searching through past posts and I thought it was discussed, but I just can't find it.

2000mAh Battery: 60mm x 36mm x 7mm
1200mAh Battery: 62mm x 34mm x 5mm
