Hi all,
So my R1 got its first injury after a drop.
I’m said as it was not my fault, I am quite careful with my own stuff.
To ease my pain, do share if you have had a similar experience!!

I’ve a slight scratch on the screen. Hard to photograph, not too bad but enough to be slightly annoying!

Ah man! Can imagine that would be bugging you every now and then.
I was prepared for that! I removed the black sticker from the screenprotector the other way around. Now the screenprotector is still on there.

I was trying to grab pictures for the contest, I removed the rubber band from my case (as it doesn’t stay in completely if not, but can’t be removed without unlatching), it tumbled and hit small chip on the side and some how chipped and scraped the screen protector (its not the actual screen thankfully).

Awh man!! That 3rd pic is painful 
Happened at the TWA event
I had my R1 fully setup and was good to go, but someone else had T-Mobile and didn’t have signal at the event, and didn’t have a power-bank.
So I pulled my R1 out of the included cassette case, removed the SIM, and set the R1 on my lap.
While helping him get the SIM in his R1 and hooked up to my power bank, it slipped out of my lap and onto the hard ground.
It’s minimal damage, but inspired me to design a case out of TPU that very night and print it the moment I got home. My R1 has lived in a case ever since.

watch out!
there is a rabbit screen protector?
“R1, order me a screen protector”
“I can’t do that, go to a store”
dbrand makes accessories for it, skins and protectors.
With a screen protector you also get little tempered glass protectors for the camera. If you use the cassette case to hold the r1 in terminal mode a lot, its a tight squeeze since the tempered glass adds on a bit extra on each side. The case doesn’t have channels for screen protectors like it does for the scroll wheel and PTT button.

Oh man! Thanks for sharing!!
Mine was 4 days in, I can only imagine the pain if it were to happen right there😰
Love the bumper case. Is it hard plastic or more of a silicon type of material?
I see opportunities😁
DBRAND charges too much for those screen protectors though, I got TWO for $12 on Amazon - https://amzn.to/4eK6UEk

DBRAND has never been one to make something cheap. So they’re definitely on the pricey side. That being said, I’ve got their screen protector on each of our R1s and they’re excellent quality.
