RangerG Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Does anyone use the Lynx sun visor? The sun visor seems like a good way to have a permanent screen protector when the Lynx is not in use, but do you need to take it on and off? It seems to be at too steep an angle to keep it on when not outside - is this true? Or, is it something to always keep on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectrexroli Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I guess you just can use one of those clear screen protectors. I use them on my GPS, video camera, 3DS and mobile phone, but it should work also on the Lynx I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPricey Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I use one for screen protection on each of my Lynx's. The angle is a little steep when trying to play indoors (can be done), I never use mine outdoors. They are easy to remove and refit though, it takes seconds.

Level42 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 You can't see anything without one in sunlight......unless you upgrade the LCD. I've used it in the past. But it's mostly a screen protector now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I use it as a screen protector and typically snap it off when I play. BUT---with the bright new Lynx LCD, it's good for cutting down on ambient light when playing in bed at night if the missus is trying to sleep. This is a new use I've found for it lately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdog360 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 That's a great idea for a screen protector. I just ordered one from Best Electronics today along with some other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Ordered a second screen protector new in box today. Now both my Lynx's will be safe! They made a funky looking one for the model one as well...may have to grab that eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trew Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 It took me ages to find one for the Lynx 1 on eBay. If anyone knows a place with them in stock (boxed) would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Best Electronics using This Link and you can find them new for like $8 in sealed boxes. You have to buy a minimum order of $20 from him, so I'd say get the Large Lynx carrying case as well.. they are also new sealed and a STEAL at $15.

Trew Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Ah, not a bad shout! Best isn't great for non-US orders (shipping costs etc). But... I'm likely moving to the US soon, so can hook myself when I get there. I have a few of the large Lynx cases, but not boxed, and all shiny and new, so that's a good call.

Video Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Its a must have if you take your lynx with you (works great in sunlight) inside its not necessary but works great as a screen protector. I have no issues with the angle you hold the system at. There are a few " vertical" games that are an issue but for the most part mine lives on my lynx. Its flexible enough to easily be removable but I rarely do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZLevee Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Sold out for Lynx I (been a few years I know) at Best Electronics - anyone know where else to find a Lynx I visor these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Try Telegames UK. He had some as of a few months ago. Used, but in the box and good condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Any chance to get STL files for printing a Lynx I screen visor by yourself? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
