Is there a way to get a replacement screen?

Thanks. Even with my mediocre skills it wasn't too traumatic changing the screen. Are there any screen protectors that fit to hopefully minimise me breaking it again? I bought the silicone cover but the glass screen projects slightly further out so I think it it were dropped it wouldn't be much protection.

That's great news - glad it fixed it for you!

I'm afraid I never found a very good screen protector myself - they always peeled at the edges for me.

However I think what happened to yours is probably quite rare - I've dropped mine loads and never broken it - the worst is scraping the face against brick walls. It could be worth trying, but at some point if the screen protectors cost £5 and a whole new screen is £12, you could just take your chances :)

I currently use a protector made with the method described here: https://forum.espruino.com/comments/16421375/

It is now a matte one. The matte smartphone protector (for S22, so at least 6, maybe 8 Bangle size protectors) I used as base actually had two layers, a thicker clear one, too inflexible to be used on the bangle and a super thin matte one. I applied only the matte to my bangle and it has stood up to a lot of abuse. Some climbing and demolishing a brick wall included. It is obviously due for replacement in it's current state but it just got destroyed with no peeling at the edges. Initially applied 10.2022.
