T-Display-S3 AMOLED Cases
-
Are the T-Display-S3 AMOLED Cases the same as the Grey one available for the T-Display-S3?
-
@tbutcher The dimension are ever so slightly different and the switches are very different actuators.
The AMOLED is shorter. Width is the same, but the thickness is slightly different due to the 3D Antenna.

@teastain2 Thank you, any idea where we can get cases for it yet?

@tbutcher
I believe that the LilyGO T-Display S3 case was designed by a user and PRed to the LilyGO LilyGO T-Display S3 GitHub repository !The LilyGO T-Display S3 is vastly more popular and a year older, and cheaper!
So check the LilyGO T-Display S3 AMOLED GitHub:

periodically.
Consider raising your own Issue! -
NOTE: I highly recommend AGAINST trying to fit the AMOLED version into the existing T-Display cases.
I just bought one, got it working great with a sketch from Volos https://www.youtube.com/c/VolosProjects, and installed it into one of the T-Display cases I have for my other regular T-Display devices.
It did seem to fit, so I didn't think much until powering it up... But now display only had a thin line on one end (by the buttons). OH NO!!
I took it out of the case and realized that because the acrylic covers the buttons there was way too much pressure on everything. And It somehow broke something in the screen or connector, as now it is simply dead, no image, no line, nada...
The ESP32 still works and I can tell it is running the sketch as one of the buttons toggles the green LED (which still works). But as the other adjusts the brightness (which of course being AMOLED is not a separate backlight), thus since the screen is dead that button does nada.
I contacted support about a replacement screen or something, but have been just getting runaround as no one seems to understand English well enough... They grab one descriptive comment and run with it as if it was the whole issue.
So I am out about $45 CAD after a wopping one hour of use (including programming) and reluctant to purchase anything more from Lilygo due really questionable support options. Oh well... I will just stick with the regular T-Displays that I have I guess.
