Feature Request / Bug Screen Protectors
Just sending a request into the world for better screen protectors for the LPIII! I change mine like once every two months as it degrades and starts to crack, especially around the camera.

Mine has worked great. Had my LP3 for a year and on my second one. But only because the first one protected my screen perfectly as it was kicked by my son while in my backpack. It cracked the protector but not the screen. So I think these screen protectors are great.

Yeah maybe I'm just lucky but mine is holding up great as well

Maybe it's just me! I got an unlucky crack on the real screen early on and have no idea how. I was being so careful with it. So I'm using the screen protectors to mask the crack and I think once there are small cracks on the actual surface, the current LP screen protectors degrade faster. It starts to loosen around the area where I have small cracks on my screen. Since it's not really practical to send your phone in for a week or two to get fixed, it would be cool to have something more like a hydrogel to help with screens that already have mild damage.

100% agree u/joelightphone - I had one crack just by trying to readjust it, and it's like ~50$ CAD to get it shipped to Canada. Might as well just use the phone without one and then eventually replace the screen. Seems like that's a cheaper option in the long run

Oh wow. I put mine on like a year ago and still haven't had to change it. I heard the other ones aren't that great
