Removing the thin foil on the inside of the front/hard display protector caused some rainbow effects on the screen. Was the foil not meant to be removed? :(

I am not sure what you mean by "foil" but the last three Griffin Survivor cases I purchased this year had nothing removable on it.

Rami Elamine and David P. Bard, can you comment on whether you are using a screen protector, such as ZAGG or InvisiShield? I have seen a few complaints like this that appear to be related to the dye in the cover soaking into the screen protector. Or is it actually causing problems on the screen itself?

I have not removed mine yet. It seems that it would come off easily though. I'm not sure if it will leave a residue on the screen though?

There's a tinted green layer on the screen protector which yois removed the bubbles. but I found it was still uneven. So I took off the screen protector that comes which the case altogether. It's much better now...I figure as long as u have an actual screen protector on ur phones screen u should be good. Maybe I will write a review and post some pics.

Me too. I think that's all too common with tempered glass screen covers. The good news is that the problem, at least for me, gets better over time and the cover now sticks better.

It is okay to take the built-in screen protector off. I personally took it off and put a nice matte screen protector on it and it looks beautiful! I definitely recommend it!

I use a microfiber cloth to remove smudges easily no problems. Images on LCD are crisp, non-distorted, no rainbow effects off the glass screen protector and it's holding up well so far. I'm happy I got it for my Sony camera.

Yes, but I found it left a ghost imprint of itself on my screen. I removed mine for this reason.

good dayyes you do have to remove the front glassand a litle warning, be very carefull with that process, the lcd screen is very fragilethe best way to do it is to heat the glass with a hair dryer and slowly insert a razor blade between the glass and digitizer *** it should come off easely*** do not force it to come off...start from the top cornerif you need more info you can always go on youtube to see how it's donegood luck

Sorry for the late response. I've been working a lot. It has a layer of film on each side of the actual screen that I removed prior to installation.

I put it on at work, which is a dusty location. I cleaned the screen with the soft cleaning cloth you get from the Optometrist. I lined it up, tried using the cardboard piece but found that a debit card worked much better to get any bubbles out.

I'm such a dork! Is that what that plastic thing was? It did have a plastic thing in it that was probably supposed to be a screen protector. I thought it was packaging material and I removed it. It was glued in there with a bead of something like silicone caulking that allowed it to be removed without a great deal of difficulty once you broke that seal and tugged at it. Duh. :)

Mine has the bubbles and minor peel-off at the top corner as well.The rest of the screen looks perfect, as others have said. I did find it possible to use the flat part of my fingernail and a piece of cardboard to press it back into place so it almost looks perfect. I figure I'll leave it on as a first layer of defense. Zagg.com has great screen protection films but with the ability to close the lid on this unit, I figure I shouldn't need that.BTW- anyone know if spare batteries are available???

Yes - my son had that issue and it turned out the front screen protector was t fitted snugly. He sorted that out and it was better

Sorry I haven't done so, but after first try to apply the protector, I found a small bubble near the edge, so I used the sticker and followed the instruction on their website to lift the protector and removed the dust in the bubble. So I'd say it's not hard to lift or remove the protector if you have just apply it to the screen, but not sure if that's the case after a while of use. Also I didn't feel any damage to the screen. The protector has good quality.
