Where to buy DMG case that fit day's gorilla glass

Post by Brag0n » Wed May 31, 2017 2:20 pm

Anyone that have received their gorilla glass from Day and got a case that fit snugly with the screen size?
If so, where did you buy it? ;)

Cheers!

You have to cut out the Gameboy screen yourself. It doesn't look like anyone has made a 3d printed case yet. Your glass should fit an original gameboy perfectly if you leave a small bit of the screen bezel.

I might not have described the situation that well i guess.
There is roughly a 2-2.3 mm gap around where the screen sits (on my case).. which is quite much larger than what should be expected.
And 3rd party molds seem to vary a bit these days.
As such i was wondering if anybody had got a case, which they have tested in combination with Day's gorilla glass, that has less of a gap than i do..
I would be willing to accept a case that is 1mm off.. But 2.3 is a bit extreme.

As such.. if anybody has found a seller with cases of a higher quality.. i would like to know.. Cause i really want a good looking case.. ;)

are you certain that the screen protector is not at fault....

check it against the screen protector that would have come with the gameboy shell...

as i cant really see there being many different moulds for an item thats as old as a dmg gameboy (still posible)

I have my original dmg and a replacement case it's definitely the screens he ordered were manufactured wrong or measured wrong

Really bummed to hear this. At $29 this is easily the most expensive part that I purchased for my build. I haven't received mine yet (U.S.) but it seems like there's been a lot of complaints so far.

All the cases have the same size for the screen I've had loads and never had an issue with original or Chinese cases and screens

Order a clear glass from kitsch and a sticker fits perfect and a fraction of the price

hey @Brag0n,
I bought a Chinese aftermarket case on ebay: http://stores.ebay.de/Easybuy-2014/_i.h ... 1259496468
the gap on each side is under 1mm which works for me. check the image attached to get an idea whether this is what you're looking for.
the case fits snugly with the screen size, don't you think?!:Show
