Protection for your Blaze

[tdquatrini]

Is anyone else scared about not being able to put a screen protector on their blaze???! I always try to be careful but I am a little nervous about it.

I have had my Blaze for just under four weeks and today I noticed a big scratch across the face. I don't remember doing anything that would scratch it like that. You can see it and feel it with your finger so it's definitely deep. I sent a picture to support services so am hoping there is a way to fix or replace. I can't believe there is no screen protector for this watch!

Believe me it does get scratched... definitely would recommend some protection. Still have get it myself. 

[MadamVastra]

Thank you very much for the info. I will check it out.

Well worth protecting your fitbit. I've gone through three screen protectors and my screen is still ok. The protectors have been very badly smashed or cracked. Couldn't recommend them more

I will be protecting my Blaze screen when it arrives. I'm about to receive my second replacement, due to cracked screen. Gorilla glass or or not, it gets tapped or knocked in just the wrong spot then bang, cracked. 

[Debisam]

Gorilla glass meh, just takes a tap on the wrong spot and crack! 

[LuckMayHaveIt]

In case this never got to you, there's been gorilla glass screen protectors for the blaze ever since it's launch, however the protectors suffer far more damage than the watch screen ever will

[Debisam]

Thank you for contacting me, I'm a bit techno void. I've had two screens
that recieved cracks (luckily fitbit are replacing the second damaged one
now) So, I've bought some protective screen covers through eBay, when my
new new replacement Blaze comes, I think I will use the protection.

I was concerned with my new FitBit Blaze, after reading that at least one person had managed to scratch his screen.  After a good bit of research, I came across one that seemed highly regarded, made by Afunta.  (www.Afunta.com)  A package of three custom made for the Blaze sold for about $20.  The first one didn't go on perfectly.  (I could see what looked like an air bubble on about 1/3 of it after being installed.)  

About 2 months later, the first one started chipping and totally came off within a few weeks of that.  We mounted the second one without any problems about 6 weeks ago (mid-June) and now I already see chipping at one edge and one corner.

Bottom line, I don't think this is the best product to cover my Blaze.  My work involves tight squeezes with industrial equipment, so I consider screen protection to be pretty important.

Open to suggestions.  I still have to review other respondents to this thread to see if there is already a good answer.  But wanted to provide feedback on the Afunta product ASAP.

got a pack of 3 on Amazon

[Lorenzo_London]

Thanks for sharing.  Was there a specific brand name on Amazon for the ones you bought ?   And how long have they been without any problems for you? 

Thanks again for your response. 

[Debisam]

I live in Australia and bought mine off eBay, I think 5 for $10. I go through a protector about every 2-3 months.

[brumblemom]

Sign Glastr slim 3 pack..... tempered glass protection. I have only had
my blaze or 2 weeks but my son has used this since before Christmas. no
problems with them, they are really thin but not hard to put on. good luck

[Cockytoo]

How do you remove the glass screen protector to put a new one on since my other one cracked? Is there an easy way to remove the old one?

[Rich_Laue]

You might need to ask the company you bought it from. 

Please be aware that some have pried off their Blaze screen, thinking that they where removgrea a teen protector. 

[Debisam]

It comes off quite easily, just slide your fingernail under the corner, or
thin knife or blade. It should peel right off.
