As what paypal says. Its mis leading. So what you are telling austin. When you by a car you buy it by that information because you want to have a v8. But then you recieve it and its a v6. You go back to the dealer and he is saying ya here is the info from the maker and there is saying somtimes it wil be a v6.

Stil when you sell somthing here you need to profide all the info. And dont let your seller so oer 3 posts because the info is there.

And under paypal protaction you need to give al the info on the sell page. Thats why i love paypal.

Sorry for my lack of englesh i am dutch.
My response would be, if you failed to read the terms and conditions and you signed the loan the fault is on you.

Day took ownership by explaining why the screens were manufactured the way they were. He was explicit when the new pre-order was going live stating the dimensions were exactly the same as the last batch.

If you flip through the pages of this thread and find posts from the first run you'll see that people were mentioning that there was a gap as well.

DISCLAIMER

1- Picture of original gray is not a 3d modelling, it is the real thing, shot by @Camble.
Here are two other shots, to get a better idea of the color, finishing, etc :
original-gray-2.jpg
original-gray-3.jpg

As you can see, the silkscreen is printed on the "back", i.e. on the part close to the screen, not close to the "fingers".

2- Pictures of original black and new gray are photoshopped, just to give an overview of what it would look like. As the silkscreen will also be on the "back", the black of the original black would be less contrasted than on my photoshopped picture, but still black of course (like for an Android phone or iPhone if you see the style). So no worries

3- A very small minority of those who bought the first batches (1 and 2, this is the batch 3 just in case), had issues with the dimensions of the screen protector. Indeed, they mentionned a small gap between the inner border of the case, and the outer border of the screen protector. Please understand the below :
The dimensions of the Gorilla Glass will remain the same as during first batches. The reason is that I received very few critical complains on that aspect, and that I don't want to risk the opposite and change the dimensions to get a lot of critical complains. As every cases are slightly different, I cannot risk having Gorilla Glass' dimenions that are larger/bigger, even slightly. Indeed, as the Gorilla Glass does NOT bend, the screen protection will simply NOT fit the case. Whereas at the moment, if for some of you the Gorilla Glass are slightly smaller, at least it will fit the cases, at the cost of having a tiny gap. I hope you understand my situation : I cannot control the cases discrepencies, but I can control the Gorilla Glass production, and they have NO errors (0.01mm margin error).
Here is an example of how it would fit (every cases is different, whereas every GG screen protector are manufactured with extreme precision):
ggb1.jpg

4- I will need to reach a minimum order quantity to launch the production, and will update you on that side. Once reached, I will immediatly launch the production, which should take few weeks. I will provide more info/follow up when we reach that stage.

5- Pre orders will be open for at least 2 weeks as per request. Some of you have different financial cash flow and therefore let's accomodate on that part. Please be patient :)

PRE-ORDERS

So how to get those screen protectors ? Read the below :

1- Place your pre-order and choose the TOTAL QUANTITY (all models you wish to order combined).
2- After that, send me an email to s[at]dayn[dot]uk from the email linked to your paypal account with the subject detailing your order in the following format :
[Quantity_of_model][ID_of_model]

IDs of models : OG for original gray, OB, for original black, and NG for new gray.
Write this in the subject of the email so that it is faster/easier for me to see it and treat the order.

Example :

1- You want ONE Original Gray, you choose Quantity = 1 in PayPal, and then you send me an email with Subject "1OG".
2- You want TWO Original Gray, and ONE New Gray, you choose Quantity = 3 in PayPayl, and then you send me an email with Subject "2OG-1NG"

PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW CLOSED !!!!

If you have any questions, please let me know !


That's all !
Thank you all for your patience and I hope we can get these in our hands very soon !!!

#3 under the big letters that say disclamer

It clearly states that there will be a gap and that different cases may have different gaps, and that the gap is necessary because the glass will not bend if it is too big for the case. If you do a search for "gap" you will see that it was thoroughly discussed throughout the thread, always read the entire thread.

From what I see..
This :
http://www.sudomod.com/forum/download/file.php?id=4109
Does not look like this :
http://www.sudomod.com/forum/download/file.php?id=5716
or
http://www.sudomod.com/forum/download/file.php?id=5715

And it happens on the 8 cases I have now... (5 originals and 3 chinese new). The gap is slightly bigger on the chinese cases yes (I can understand why), but the original DMG case I have had so far (and that means a LOT) have always been the same regarding the screen protector dimension. I used to change it for friends and familly or swap the yellowed cases and put a new screen protector.
This is my point, maybe I've been lucky sor far until then.
I hope I am wrong, and someone tell us where to find some cases (even old grey DMG) that fits as on Day's pictures.
Thanks

In those photos the screen protector isn't centered out like day was suggesting. The screen protector is pushed firmly up against one side of the bezel making the gap appear much larger than what it actually is.

The ones I've got that fits is one original and one new. However I have bought several from all over the place for both me and friends so I'm afraid I can't help you out. If I do buy new cases that have a good fit I will share it for sure.

Hi,
I just wanted to say thanks to day for the screen protectors. I am happy with the product, I ordered four original grey, the gaps were minor, and the screen protector will work great with the Game Boy Zeros I'm going to make.

The gap looks bigger than it is because you can see an outline around the part where the actual screen gap is.

P.S. If anyone wants to know what case I used, because mine might fit better than other cases, I used a Vivi Audio Replacement Full Housing Shell for Original Nintendo DMG-01 GameBoy (1989) Clear Color. It took a while to arrive, but was worth the wait. Here's the link. (It also comes in other colors and costs $9.99 + shipping for a case, a screen protector, start and select buttons, A, B, and D-pad buttons and button pads, a power switch, screws, and the screw drivers needed for assembly and disassembly.)https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Hous ...

I bought my glass knowing 100% there would be size discrepancies because apparently unlike a lot of other buyers I read through the thread and saw mentioned multiple times that there is a gap, going back all the way to batch one. I have waited to cut my screen to ensure I can center days glass without trouble leaving an even gap all around, and plan to use a tinted silicone to fill that gap seamlessly. With a little creative thinking this shouldn't be an issue.

Please don't fault day for you not doing your research, he has been completely transparent throughout and mentioned this issue previously. People not taking the time to read previous posts is a big problem here, and this is what happens as a result. It's still a fine item, and as I said before with a little ingenuity you can make it work.
Your totally right on this. Everyone needs to just cut day some slack and calm down. Day put a lot of his own time into this and the screens are really nice. The fit issue can be minimized by centering the glass and using some color matching silicone to fill in the edge around the border. Thanks day for doing this for us. Can't fault a guy for going out of his way and trying to make the community a better place :D

Day, no worries dude, you did a great job! All of these calls of paypal refunds need to stop. Guys like day are the reason we even have this forum and community of modders that supply us with these great additions to our builds. Any solution to this issue needs to come from the community as a whole and not by singling out one guy who is just trying to help. STOP ACTING LIKE CHILDREN!

As you can plainly see, he acknowledges that there can be a gap and depending on the case that you choose, and gave a disclaimer about it ahead of time.

This post was also linked on the very first post. If anyone missed it and cut their case ahead of time making the hole too big, it's not Day's fault.

I can say this, because I was also one of the impatient ones and cut my screen hole out already. I have not received my gorilla glass yet, but if it ends up that I cut the hole too big, it will be my fault, not Day's, since I obviously can't follow directions.

Can anyone upload a high-res picture with the Gorilla 🦍 centered both vertically and horizontally? I'd like to see how it looks and find some remedy.
