Please how do I get the cover/rubber frame OFF ? I need to clean iPad2 screen. BMW

I had to remove the rubber frame, the day that I put it on, because I thought I could press-out the little wandering rainbow airbubbles that appear under the plastic sometimes. That didn't work out so well. But to get the frame off, first take the hard plastic clamp stand off. The clamp helps hold the rubber frame in place. Just wriggle it gently on the back stand piece, until it's loose, and slide it by tugging it sideways off the Ipad. Then I grabbed a corner section of the frame. They are big and thick. I gently pulled the rubber frame off, one corner at a time. I pulled it by sliding the edge of my thumb under it, and then wigging more of my thumb under it to get a grip. Then I peeled it off gently. After you get two corners off, it all comes loose enough to slip the whole thing off.

do the exact opposite order for how you put it on. unsnap the screen cover from each of the little half circle clip things that hook around the edges. then the rubber part should come off. its pretty tough but just be careful and it should be fine. then the hard plastic main part is last to come off. its the toughest part. good luck, hope this helps!

You have to unsnap the plastic cover off of the screen first once that is removed the rest of the case comes off pretty easily

You lift one corner and it comes right off. Then you would carefully clean the screen but this cover should last a long time

First you must remove the rubber cover from the black plastic framing. Then when you have the plastic frame in your hand, each side and corner has snaps which can be pulled apart allowing your iPad to rest and fit inside perfectly.

One of the answers I read here was that you need to remove the cover. Hope that helps.

Ditto Frank's comment. We had to remove the cover from the ipad, but the keyboard is great. Just be careful, it does not hold it tight, and if you try to pick it up by the keyboard, disaster could ensue.

I had the same question. What I decided to do is use a piece of soft cloth. Then it protects and can be used to clean it. Love my Kensington Keyfolio.

So far I haven't felt the need to clean it. If you had to you may be able to snap the front screen off then wipe it out or else you would need to blow it out with compressed air.

Make sure you clean the iPad's surface by using the mild alcohol based product or a damp cloth and keep it dry. Make sure there are no specks of dust before applying the protector 'cause this may get stuck when protector is applied also causing air pockets between the iPad's surface and protector. Don't inmediately remove the sticker cover with number 1 label from the protector to avoid exposing it into air or dust. Use a squeegee or a soft cloth in removing air pockets in circular motion before removing the number 2 plastic.

I simply wipe the screen cover with a microfiber towel, and it does the job very well. Have yet to need to break-down the case to clean the iPad screen (or the inside of the screen cover that is attached to the case).

push down to remove cover and slide it off. Let me know if you still have trouble.

Hey I had the same thing happen to me, I had just taken off the rubber protective backing to clean it, and it slipped out of my wet hands (cleaner) and onto hard (practically stone) floor! It shattered mostly at the top.. but it still works perfectly , the camera, mic etc.. all good,! I only bought it 3 months ago, for over 200 bucks, and an apple rep said it would cost over 100 dollars to replace screen~ ! Insane!! I am looking and hopefully have found a clip on set with a hard rubberized clear front, and backing, that will protect it, and hopefully keep it from getting worse! The regular screen protectors will not go on do to "bumpy texture" .... Your post did not say if yours is still working or not, but if it is,, I will let you know if it works.. and you let me know if you get anything out of your warranty. Deal? I hope so! Thanks Kimmy

Like everyone else is saying, you can simply peel it off. This is also useful for fixing a bad install. Although, I have gotten small particles under mine on install and now they're really embedded into the shield.

Use the hair dryer to heat it up untill adhesive becomes loose. Than just pry it off with a soft plastic tool. You can use rubbing alchocol to clean any resedue left on the screen.

I just did it, but it was not obvious. The people who say to remove the silicone cover first are right. The key is that you have to realize that the silicone cover is one big piece -- I kept trying to find a seam to separate it. Instead, hold the case as if you were looking at the phone, and bend back the silicone cover at the corners (away from you). Do that on all 4 corners of the screen -- you'll need to stretch it a bit, but it will come off. Then, you'll just have the hard inner case, which is opened by popping the 2 tabs on the side and the 1 at the top.

It came with a cloth to clean the screen. Just use that to clean the screen a few times. I highly suggest installing it using the hinge-method. Once you get everything in line, before removing the film on your final step, lift it up enough to clean the screen one more time. Then remove the film and let the screen protector sticky part attach to the ipad. Use your fingers to gently push the air bubbles out. It won't take long to get those air bubbles out. I hope this helps.

You unscrew the 2 screws on the metal cover and remove the cover. the glass then unscrews.
