you should be able to. but doing that will void otter box life time warranty. this product works very well. am buying another for other phone and kindle. try a trident case with the armor shield. what I have and no problems.

The Otterboxes only have a one year warranty not a lifetime. Sorry. Go to their website and see for yourself.

I don't have the unit yet so can't give you an answer. My plan is to just remove the otter if need be. It is easy to remove.

I bought this for my girlfriend. I would say it's comparable in size with the otterbox. It does give okay protection. But not otterbox quality protection. And as far as the screen protector goes, it's only a flimsy piece of thin plastic. It's only glued on. So yes, you can remove it. That is what we did. It's really pointless to keep the screen protector on in my opinion. Overall it's a good phone case.

Hello. Its been a few months since I replaced screen but if I can recall I used a utility knife and a really small electronics screw driver. You have to be really careful when taking the plastic rim that surrounds the screen off (use to hands) as it is fragile plastic that will crack. Its pretty straight forward and easy. Good luck.

You can indeed take the plastic off of the solar panel on the back of the device however it is the plastic case that mounts the device to the windshield. No plastic case equals no windshield "mount-ability"...

I think Nancy's question is about the two layers of plastic screen protection. One of them is clearly intended to be removed and the other seems glued to act as a screen protector. I removed both, using a sharp knife to separate the thicker film from the ipad shell. I am not a big fan of screen protectors, but if I was using it in an industrial or food service environment I would have left it on.

I have used a similar one before. I found that after taking it off, all I had to do was wipe the screen with alcohol to clean away any residue. I love mine.

it has a little plastic sticker covering the new screen.. Peel it off !! (I did the same thing) HA

well the only thing I think of is to make sure the plastic is in place on the otter box Susan cause sometimes if it's lose it will make you screen look wet. Try that

I'm not quite understanding you, but I'm thinking that you're asking if you have to take off the original screen protector to use the product and the answer is yes. I removed the old screen protector then placed the product on my screen and haven't had any problems with it.

It has a very strong adhesive on it. Just peel the protector plastic off and stick it right on (after cleaning the glass of course). Make sure you have it aligned just right because once you stick it on, its on. High heat will take it off if you need to remove it.

The ArmorSuit is very industrial and needs a heat source (I think they recommend a hairdryer) to seal it onto the screen permanently, I was worried about heating up my phone! The second is simply a clear, plastic screen which you stick onto your phone (being careful that you smooth it out fully for a wrinkle-free finish), it can be removed and replaced but I have had mine on for a few months now and it stands up well to average use.

The case is three pieces like an otterbox. The two plastic halves go together and covered by the rubber. So no, but if you're meaning to take off the screen protector part only...then yes. That is glued to the case and in our case was already coming off a bit, so should be able to be removed if needed.

If it is your first time trying to get it out, this is fairly normal. The plastic has not been stretched as much so it will be harder to take out. Start on the left side of the screen at the corners and push down on it to seep rate it from the case. It might take a little bit of work to get it out but just go for it. If you can't get it out and you have taken it out before I would suggest getting some tools to pry it out.

Hi nforce4max! Unfortunately, the black plastic shell is glued to the case, so you would not be able to remove it without damaging the case, most likely. Apologies for that. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Remove the Otterbox screen by taking the entire Otterbox protector shell off of the phone. If you have a stick-on screen protector as well, you need to peel that off first also.

I have an otter box defender, and it works perfectly. It's about the same thickness as the plastic screen that comes with it. I simply removed the original protector.
