ClearInset / For Eilik ↗
A little less coverage. A fit worth getting right.
ClearInset is a proposed clear face film for Eilik, designed to stop short of the curved outer rim. A split backing and peel-away tabs would help you place it a section at a time.
- Intended for the standard Energize Lab Eilik face. Final outline and adhesive fit need testing; other models are excluded.
- Proposed pack: two inset films, each with split backing and peel-away handling tabs, plus a soft applicator and dry cloth.
- Robot supplied separately. Central coverage only; this is not a bumper or protection against drops and impacts.
Free to join. No payment or commitment to buy.
- 1 · Align with the tabsA removable handling layer supports the film while most adhesive stays covered.
- 2 · Release in stagesSplit backing separates initial placement from laying down the rest.
- 3 · Leave the rim clearOnly the inset film remains. Its outline must preserve the expression window; edge coverage is reduced.

Sound familiar?
When the protector becomes the distraction.
If you have struggled to settle a film around Eilik’s curved face, you may prefer a smaller protector with an honest boundary. ClearInset focuses on the central area and leaves the outer rim uncovered.
Line up the film while most adhesive is still covered. Set the first section, peel the remaining backing, then remove the handling layer. Nothing wraps around the head.
Would this help your setup? →Designed with your day in mind
Keep the fitting routine simple.
Three design goals for an optional surface layer without wrapping every edge.
Place it a section at a time
Split backing keeps most adhesive covered while you establish the first position.
Keep the head free of hardware
Peel-away tabs leave only a thin film. No clamp or permanent frame is planned.
Picture the routine
Align. Set one section. Finish the rest.
Here is how the proposed design would fit into your day.
- 01
With Eilik switched off, align using the peel-away handling tabs.
- 02
Release the backing in two stages and lay the film gently, following tested instructions when available.
- 03
Remove the handling layer. The central film stays; the outer rim remains uncovered.

Before you join
A few things you might be wondering.
Want to explore the evidence or build something like this?
Read the Eilik product idea report ↗Why leave the rim uncovered?
That is the design trade-off: avoid asking a flat film to follow the most curved outer area. Testing must show that the smaller footprint helps while preserving the full expression window. The exposed rim can still be scratched.
Does it replace a peeling film?
That is the intended use, rather than stacking films. A removal and cleaning method must first be verified for Eilik’s actual face finish. No solvent, heat or scraping method is specified here.
Which Eilik will it fit?
The first version targets one measured standard Eilik face revision, with Blue and Pink units checked separately. No fit is promised for Eiliko or other robots. Compatibility with fitted accessories also needs checking.
Is it scratch-proof or shatter-proof?
No such performance is established. This is a sacrificial surface-film concept. Clarity, adhesion, removal, wear and normal operation need physical tests before a sale.
Why not buy an existing six-pack?
That may be the better choice if it already fits well for you. ClearInset proposes fewer films and less coverage in exchange for a controlled fitting method. We need to establish that the difference is worth choosing.
Can I order it now?
Not yet. This is an unbuilt concept, not for sale. Joining is free, with no payment or purchase commitment. Final price and availability are not set; updates may follow if the concept progresses.
What still needs to be tested?
- Intended standard Eilik fit and adhesive compatibility are unverified. The outer rim remains uncovered.
- No scratch-proof, shatter-proof or impact performance established. Use only a validated fitting/removal method when available.
