Hopefully, that would help to reduce the likelihood of screen damage. Still, I do think they should at least give a free cover with the thing. (Also, the color screen looks great! )Yeah it seems like the Prizm. The Prizm has some sort of guard too. Actually, old TI calcs were like that too (TI-81, 82, some of the regular 83s, 85 and I think the TI-92 had an extra protection or something)That's a good idea, I think. I've seen a few TI-Nspires with messed-up screens.

Different hardware and everything (the color screen)I'm pretty sure Ndless could fairly easily have a backwards-compatibility mode for old Ndless programs, by setting a 4-bit palette with equivalent levels of grayscale. That wouldn't work for programs that change the palette, but it should work for most cases. (All of this assumes that TI is using the same display driver, which is pretty likely)

The CX actually looks really nice
