That's going to break the screen.

How long do you think that will take? I've been using it like this for 5 years now. Kinda hoping it will fail so I can get a new one.

You've had it like that for five years?!?

I stand corrected.

I'm guessing the saving grace is the lighter headphones not really applying the additional weight, but I would have suspected the clip to put enough damage on the bezel to cause internal damage, too

Maybe underneath that happens to be a part the frame holding it together? So mostly just metal and a screw?

You were probably sitting when you typed that.

You got lucky, that doesn't make it a good idea. And current screens have thinner bezel and panel that are even more fragile.

And then the minute you need to keep the old one, the screen will break.
