The clear screen mod looks like a huge visibility improvement! Nice work, Slater! Killer step-by-step guide, too. Does the screen cover you used sit flush with the body, even with the black vinyl mask? I think I will try this, probably razor blade style to avoid the extra hassle and potential hazards of opening the case. No more squinting in the car!
Glenn, I hope you are able to fix your volume buttons. But if not, you know you can still set the volume via the front arrow keys in Rockbox, right? Just go to Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume. Good luck.
Thanks!
It's about 0.5mm thinner than the stock screen (so it sits recessed just a hair). So you can barely feel the tiny edge (of aluminum) all around the new clear screen if you rub your fingers on it just the right way. It's not sharp, and doesn't catch/snag on anything though, so it's no big deal.
I would rather have it 0.5mm below than 0.5mm above. If it was above, the screen would be much more likely to get scratched up.
