Macbook Air M1 Screen (A2337) - it's incredibly fragile, how can I protect it from cracking again?
I have seen other posts on here asking similar questions, and the answer is always: DO NOT put a screen protector on because you don't need one, it will also damage the screen. I wonder how many of them have used one of these constantly for the best part of a year like me. In that short time my screen has cracked twice from perfectly normal, careful usage. I'm not a noob, I'm a platform architect who has been in tech for 25 years and have never broken anything else, ever.
I know how to handle tech and I know what can be considered reasonable usage. Nevertheless, my replacement screen has just cracked again, and from the lightest of pressure as I closed the lid. I had to pay for the replacement as Apple told me it was my fault (it really wasn't), and after spending tens of thousands with them over the years, it cuts deep. I know there's an ongoing legal situation, but that is immaterial to this question.
I can only conclude that for me (and many others), these screens are not robust enough for normal use, and a practical solution is required. I have never known anything break so easily and I want to prevent it happening again - it's infuriating, expensive and time consuming. So, I would like to enquire as to whether there are any safe and reliable ways to stop my screen cracking from normal, gentle usage. I'm not being facetious here, I need a practical solution. This is the best piece of technology I have EVER used, it's amazing, I want to keep using it, but without the screen cracking ever again!
thank you,
p.s. before someone says AppleCare - No. I shouldn't have to take out insurance against my macbook breaking from normal, gentle usage. I have also lost faith in them after being fobbed off the first time.
