iDrive 8 Screen vs Girlfriend

drac · 11-15-2023, 09:11 AM

I am waiting on soon to be delivered m340 and was worried that my gf with her nails would accidentally scratch or even me by mistake. How tough is the screen? Should I get a screen protector?
my biggest pet peeve is a screen with scratches

Amazon has some screen protectors for ID7/ID8. Here's one for ID8: https://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Prot.../dp/B0BGLJZTG6

Tell her not to touch it.

I'd be more concerned with nail damage elsewhere if they are that long!

Nails are not gonna scratch it.

It is pretty tough glass. I wouldn't worry.

Definitely shouldn't be a concern, not even your nails will hurt that screen, these screens like any automotive screens are tested for years and months with mechanical hands consistently touching them to see how long their product last and to make adjustments so unless you're taking a ring or key to it I say you be ok. And she is more likely to break a nail if she Digs her nails into any of the soft interior. you may get superficial marking that rubs off with leather or plastic/rubber cleaner. Hope this helps.

Get a nail clipper?

Give her gloves when she gets in the car? lol

Why is she screwing with the screen in the first place?
