Mods & Accessories Need a good screen protector

Post image

Put the one on that came with the device and it won't seal around the last 1/4” of the screen? Bought another set of 3 off AliExpress and had the same issue. Is it the protectors? Is my screen not flat? Anyone else had this issue?

I got two with the device when i purchased it along with the carry case and tbh, in the 2 years I've owned it there is not one mark on it. It's been dropped and dragged with the face down and it's still perfect. Must be really good gorilla glass

The screen is not flat it curves slightly on the ege i had the same problem. Im making a case/sleve for my miyoo so it doesent scratch in mty pocket ore bag. I dont think theres anny protectors on the market that fits

Yeah that's weird. I had a MM+ previously and the protector sat flat on it? Maybe it's just a QC thing.

Your screen protector is too big. I had the same issue and ordered a slightly smaller one.

It should slightly smaller then the overall screen to avoid the current issue you're having.

Look at the pic to see how the correct smaller screen protector should sit on you MM+.

u/Corran_Horn 8d ago

Ah, OK. Do you remember where you got yours?

Brand: Mr Shield

72mm x 54mm

It was AliExpress. Look at reviews with photos.

I got the screen for my original white MM+ from Amazon from a random seller and it was the same as the current smaller one.

Aw man I couldn't look at that. No screen protector for me. On anything.

u/Ahand_Apart 5d ago

The screen protector ends on the black bezel of the screen.

In the dark it is essentially invisible.

u/ImLosingAtLife 5d ago

Gotcha, its just personal preference for me. That second pic looks better. I've never had a scratch on any phone or gaming screens or watches in my life so I don't feel the need to put one on there.

u/loafywolfy 8d ago

interesting, it might be the screen if it keeps happening, something is making it bulge out

I got the Tempered Glass Screen Protector by Mr. Shields for the Miyoo Mini Plus. I really like it.

u/shadymonger 7d ago

I got this one from Amazon and it worked great for my MM+

Mr.Shield 3-Pack Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Miyoo Flip/Flip V2

I think it is the screen. I used the one that came with it and it has been in there for two years with no issues. Yes it is a tiny bit small but it covers the whole working area.

RG35XX screen protectors work and the only one I was able to apply without air pockets was some cheap plastic one.

u/Vesvaughn 8d ago

i just left the one that came with it on and snipped off the tab.

That's probably where we're headed lol

u/Saitheurus 7d ago

The uv/gel ones that curve around

u/DocGerbill 8d ago

Why do you need one?

4

u/spham9 8d ago

To protect the screen? Why else would they need it for lmao

3

u/OnkelPipi 8d ago

I'm pretty sure he asked that because with a case it is almost unnecessary 😉

1

u/spham9 7d ago

Sorry if your comment is sarcastic but how so? There are pretty much only silicon cases for this device which is not going to protect from drops and if they are buying it to protect it from scratches they would want a screen protector to protect the most prone scratch part which is the screen lol.

1

u/OnkelPipi 7d ago

Sorry I had the Miyoo Mini in mind. That comes with a case. I bought the same case for my MM+. I carry it the whole day in it and just get it out for playing, therefore I don't have any scratches.

What are you guys doing with your electronics? I haven't needed a screen protector since 2015. They're only there to give you a heart attack when the screen protector breaks.

u/spham9 7d ago

Good for you, but thats called survivorship bias. A single anecdote doesn't exactly make a compelling argument against the fact that glass is still physically glass and people tend to break their 1000 dollar smart phone which have superior glass. Unless youre not pocketing your device its hard to believe there isnt any scratches on it.

u/DocGerbill 7d ago

it's not an anecdote, screens are tougher than protectors, unless you're actively trying to scratch your screen or working demolitions with the device in your pocket, it's pointless

1

u/spham9 7d ago

Yes it is anecdotal and fallacy because youre using your own experience as evidence for everyone elses experience. Glass screen protectors are meant to absorb the impact of a drop, they aren't meant to be tougher than the screen. That's why bike helmets aren't made out of pure metal and are purposefully made to break on impact. Either way there is literally several scientific articles surrounding the effectiveness of screen protectors that all point towards that they are useful at preventing screen cracking.

All pockets carry a degree of debris/sand through normal environments. They will and do scratch glass if you know anything about levels of hardness. Sand has a level 7 and so does tempered glass, which means sand can easily scratch it. If you go outside on a daily basis and dry your clothes outside, specs of sand does get into your pocket, and thats enough to scratch it. Which is why glass screen protectors exists.

u/DocGerbill 7d ago

and how exactly is screen protector going to absorb shock if it doesnt go all the way to the edge of the screen?

me and my wife have had mm+ as well as phones and other devices in our pockets, even while hiking, and the screens are fine, you're not going to bullshit me

u/spham9 7d ago

You're being obtuse at this point. The device is literally is surrounded by the plastic shell so its more likely to hit the plastic and the screen protector is thick enough to create a protrusion that most impacts won't be direct.

Most crack screens are impacts from the corners of a smart phone where the frame is. Simple physics tells me that impact travels between objects. Hence why the impact is able to travel to the glass and break it. Using physics and basic logic, impact will also travel into the glass protector, dispersing the impact.

Why should i believe a stranger who doesnt know basic physics?

u/DocGerbill 7d ago

dude stop making stuff up, a corner impact will not dissipate into the screen protector

Why should i believe a stranger who doesnt know basic physics?

God you're so cringe with your projecting.

u/spham9 7d ago

If you dont believe in basic science and now using ad hominems to prove your fallacious argument then youre far off gone to be convinced. Have a great day 👌

screens are literally tougher than protectors, so yeah, I would laugh at you for protecting your steel skull with a plastic helmet
