Contact a manufacturer of 0.65mm thick gorilla glass in custom dimensions and ask for a sample piece to avoid the MOQ.
Yeah, I hit up a few on Alibaba. Even one who can apply the black border on the glass. No responses so far and it's been a few weeks.
You want to contact the business directly, not through Alibaba or similar. You can also try trade wheel or similar.
Alibaba is talking directly to the manufacturer. At least in my experience. Haven’t heard of trade wheel.
Might be worth your time to email Panic and see if they can send a replacement screen if you haven't tried that yet
I might. I already emailed them for another project asking what model screen they were using, and they refused to share that info, so I don't think they're too open to hardware hobbyists.
The other project was adding a light. There is a vendor that offers a front-light for that model, but it's like $60 and the result is too thick to fit in the stock Playdate.
