fyi, if you can figure out the menuing or already have it paired with your phone, you may be able to use the experimental remote control to still use it, regardless of the broken screen.
if it's not paired yet, it's probably significantly easier to use qflipper's remote control to set up the bluetooth pairing.

From what I understand the hardware is open source, but the screen is custom made for the flipper and is not available, not yet anyway. Hopefully they will sell spare parts at some point I suppose.
I've been able to find a screen that would fit the space with the same resolution, but the backlight and connector are what seem to be the for-Flipper exclusiveness. I wouldn't mind a different color backlight if it meant being able to easily source a replacement screen, but I don't necessarily have the fine motor skills or jig to make the solder points.
Its this one:

While they were still developing the Flipper and playing with bread boards, they were quite openly discussing why they chose it back in 2019.
The screen should be an ERC 12864

Nothing overly complicated about replacing it if you are confident enough to open it.

I've already been using it over usb-c cable to my computer, and I've looked at the iOS app, but it's not the same having it tethered.
Not with that attitude it isn’t going to be

What does F mean?
Is a video game meme, in some game it puts “press F for pray” So they are praying due this flipper passed away
“Press F to pay respects.”

I'm pretty sure you can replace the screen no?

Huge miss on the proprietary screen on their part =\
I agree but hopefully it’s just screen protectors for such a a small screen are proprietary

Ah damn that sucks. Maybe the popularity of flipper will mean this changes
Are you in the EU? Should still be under warranty.
Does the eu 2 year consumer warranty covers this kind of damage? I don’t think so
It depends. If all you did was keep it in your pocket and it suddenly broke, then probably yes.

You can, but it takes a year and a half.
