Punkyboy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hello Sometimes my brains are working :P Just get my 500X and scarry to break my screen,anything can happen! I see a post about a broken screen, and just get an idea to protect it and share this idea I'm an ex welder, and somes welders use a big plexiglass screen with the new helmets very simple depends on the dimensions of the plexi, but usal is this a 11cm X 9 cm x 1.5mm but it can be 11cm x 9cm x 2.5 mm (mine is a 2.5) is strongest but little bit more difficult to cut because it's harder trace lines for your good dimensions and cut it with a good cuter, pass a 4 times on the line (take care your fingers and hand)and break it Apply it to your pod screen! I don't recommended just the same dimensions as the existing screen because if something boxing it , it can smash your real screen I just apply mine with a very simple way(only use at home), near the left and under buttons, so I can easely use the navigation button and turn the others you can cut it and apply on your prefering size and paste it with scotch paper You can find a little welding screen, by a welder or equipment shops Greets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 My trick to not breaking the screen is... Don't step on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Or you're on the floor with your guitar tweaking a patch and your legs become numb so you have to switch positions, and in this process the headstock of the guitar smashes into the screen. Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartnettle1 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I use a iphone generic screen protector cut to size. Mainly to protect against scratches. But I am using the glass protectors on my Galaxy 5 nowadays. Perhaps cut one in half for the HD with glass cutter. Absolutely on the Helix! Being so expensive hardened glass that'l fit the screen is assurance from scratches and they do work to save the screen. Some can protect the main screen from a hammer hit. Will check the welding accessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonsms Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The plastic may actually be better than glass for impact. That's at least what the phone accessories people say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panaman Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 for the 500hd im thinking a sturdy magnifying glass with the edges of its metal frame filed down so its a little sloped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
