Ok, I’ve been having trouble with the offline+ switch accidentally switching on while going in and out of my pocket etc. and this past month it’s been accidentally switching on a LOT so I worry it might be getting easier and easier to switch. Well my phone is already SOOOO busted up anyway so today I decided to just cut off the switch with an razor blade. It’s still super easy to switch on and off if I just apply a bit of pressure on it while sliding…. but maybe it won’t catch on my pocket anymore! Think this’ll work??
(Also shout out to that red plastic hiding inside the switch, thought that was a fun little inside look)
Customized? Mutilated, you probably mean. And yes, a screen protector is imperative, especially with E Ink screens, which are extra vulnerable to cracks.
Speaking of screen protectors…
At first I wasn’t too happy at all with the new screen protector with the black bezel, and the lack of communication when ordering three at my local Dutch authorizedreseller, because I really liked the way the previous model screen protector ‘carried’ a glow of the backlight until the edges, giving it just something extra ‘magic’.
By now I have replaced all of them with the new screen protector with the bezel, and completely revised my opininon, for two reasons: first, the black bezel is nearly invisible against the black background and secondly, because of the small bezel, it’s much more forgiving when you need to make adjustments. When you have to take it of and re-allign it, it shows no fingerprints, because of the black bezel. You can stick your nails.under it to carefully lift it of again (take your time, otherwise it will break) and you can grab the screen protector at all sides, without leaving fingerprints or other marks, because they’re on the backside of the bezel.
If anyone needs some easy instructions how to stick them perfectly, fingerprint and bubble free to your screen, just let me know.
i sanded mine down to make it a little less likely to switch when removing from my pocket. I applied tape aroudn the edges, and slowly sanded it so it was about half the height, which made a big difference. and agree- love the pop of colour it now gives the phone.
Haha, we certainly do have a (great) sense of humor, but most of the time our sense of humor is somewhat difficult to comprehend for others. When someone starts about Dutch humor, it always reminds of this video (undo mute button because visible when playing full screen).
That sounds like a much better way to do it haha. I like hearing other people had similar inclinations. I wonder if I can sand mine now to make it a little nicer than my “mutilation” lol
