What are you guys using for a screen cover?

Post by myunholysins » Fri Jun 03, 2016 12:19 pm

Tried using glass and i kinda really just messed it up to the point where i had to redo it and now ordering a new screen i was wondering what you guys are using and is it even worth it to use a screen cover.

I am using the cover that came with the BW car backup displays. I just cut the screen cover out to fit the dimensions of the game boy shell. looks pretty good actually.

How did you attach yours? This is what I planned on using..but when I saw the idea of adding a screen cover on here, I had already cut out the screen area and didn't leave a little "shelf" for the cover to sit on (if that makes sense) so I'm not sure how I am going to attach mine. I think I may have to mount it on the inside.

I was just going to glue mine on the edges.

Yeah, when I cut my screen area I left just enough of a shelf for it to sit on :/

Got a clear glass one from handheldlegend.com
. Seems to be a good fit so far and looks flush.

I used the cover from my BW car screen. Also had the problem that I removed the complete bezel on the Gameboy shell. Therefore I used black aquarium silicone and glued the cover in from the inside. This also helped in covering the spots where I messed up the cover. It worked really well.
