I never had issues with mine breaking but others have.  Maybe try a 3D printed one from Amazon?  The plastic may be more flexible.

Just taking it on and off, or are you using it while flying.

Are you taking it off outside in the cold?  Is the cold making it brittle

II always remove it slowly. No choice, I'm removing the gimbal's protection.

how do you store the Mavic? Could it possibly be getting damaged while it is stored and then you noticed it being broke when you go to take it off? Like others, mine hasn't broken (yet). There is an aftermarket one on Amazon sold by FStop that has been modified as a sunshade so you would loose full protection but still provide a good amount for transport/storage.

Mine had been fine for two months. During an online RMA discussion I was asked to calibrate the Mavic and managed to break off one of the two tabs on the gimbal cover while removing it!

My original one broke while in a backpack (the large clip) so it did it's job I guess. I ordered a replacement locally and two more from DJI when I needed other stuff - to save on shipping.

If they break they are absorbing shock that would otherwise impact the aircraft, or worse the camera/gimbal. I'm OK with the small cost.

It's fragile you just need to be careful, there are weak spots you can see that when you look at it,

I agree, both of my broke from the tab that goes to the main body.   Actually I was about the buy the third but I did something with Silicon I think that would protect it better.

I've had no problems with the bubble or camera clip.  I've been careful after reading these posts.   I am considering attaching a small "remove before flight" ribbon to the cover and camera clip.

Has anyone had any overheating issues from keeping the dome on? Ive heard both things - 1. Dome should be removed from drone when in flight due to the vent right behind the gimbal, and 2. Dome should be left of for protection.

Thoughts?

You could leave the dome in position but this will screw up your picture - the reflections from it are very noticeable and in many cases are simply ruining the pictures and/or movies. I tried, had to give it up. The question about overheating is a no-show to me - the best I've had in the last couple of months was "barely above freezing" so no clue there ;-)

I've had mine for several months and a few hundred flights removing for each flight and it's perfectly fine.
I did lose the gimble clamp though.Here's the link to purchase more.

I have not had any problems with mines and Ive had my Mavic for months, how are you breaking it? Are you releasing the tab correctly or just pulling it off?
