i can't find any shop has 1mm thin glass around my place. i have tried using picture frame glass, but they are all 2mm which can't fit into gp. and for some reason i can't order glass screen replacement through online payment. so i need a way to get a clear screen by my hand.~ ;)

You mean the reflective easily scratchable top layer?

I just rubbed it with a relatively crude piece of cloth.

It's nearly gone now, exept for the sides of the screen.

2mm glass will fit the GP32- quote from earlier post :-
The original plastic screen, which I removed to replace it with a glass screen (best thing I ever did) measures 77.8mm x 59.8mm, with rounded corners. The glass I use -2mm thick, cost me £1. I rounded the corners with a Dremel - you could use a file or abrasive stone.

I just used a dishes whasing liquid to clean it off; the one
I used is called here in Spain "Fairy" but I supose you can
use any other. I suggest to disassemble your gp32 so you
can "wash" the screen without worrying about water entering
your handheld ; )

P.S: I tried several other liquids, like alcohol, but the purple
layer just got blurred and nothing more. But my small sister
told me: "just use this washing liquid" and I tried just in
case. And it worked : )

the grey frame of the gp just got a 1mm deep gap for the screen to fit in, how do you put the 2mm glass in it? so your grey is 1mm higher(outter?) than before?
sorry for my bad English.but thanks reeced for the reply
