I had trouble removing the black tab (the front) without leaving a white reside on the upper left of the installed protector.

Hi, what they don't tell you is that there are 3 layers to every Illumishield protective cover. The 1st tab when removed is the side that is applied to your device. The 2nd tab is the same as the first and is removed same as the first. What is left is the 3rd or the protective cover. Don't be afraid to pull off the full piece. It should mirror the 1st piece that was removed. Takes a little diligence, but that's the deal...hope that helps...

I had a similar problem, only worse, I couldn't get my tab to come off at all., which also damage the film as I tried.

I leave the protectors on all the time, but one of the Velcro tabs worked itself loose (no damage to door, now reattached) but you would probably want to leave the tabs on. If I'm not mistaken, the scratchy part of the Velcro is on the protector.

No I do not have that problem.. use some rubbing alcohol and clean both sides of screen protector to remove residues

I removed the plastic screen saver on the case. My son is the lucky owner of the Samsung Tab 3 and it works good. The case is a heavy duty.It really protects the unit.It is the best on the market in my opininon

Yes. I messed up the first one by pulling off the tab. But it fit pretty well and was easy to appkly with no bubbles as stated.

I removed mine but had to do some prep work before installing new one. Just clean surface be sure to remove all old adhesive.

you just have to press in on both sides with a little force, that is where the tabs are. By pressing the tabs in you should be able to then lift the cover off.

I had this as well. On that white line there will be no "touch" capability on your screen as well. I returned mine a few days ago. I noticed the adhesive wasn't holding on the back side of the piece but decided to see if it would work anyway. I would just return it and reorder. I'm still waiting on my new screen

I've never tried to remove it, but it is stuck on there pretty good. Sorry I'm not much help.

No the tab 3 lite is a different size. I had a similar problem with screen protectors.

Use a screen cloth the wipe the screen free of lint. Peel the tab off the back and align the screen protector and slowly apply it. Once it is on smooth out any bubbles then take the other piece of the film off to complete

Something like a semi soft spatula, inserted underneath will pry it off. It's not like it's glued on. I actually had to take off the top lcd protector when I fell and dropped it and it cracked, but saved the lcd display on the camera. It just popped right off using my pocketknife

I know that it's a tight fit, U just have to pry it off. Start from one of the corners where the tab is. Pry it open and hold it open with something thin while prying your way around the rest of the cover. It's not easy just got to keep at it.

When I first placed the shield, I saw what looked like white streaks/a white film, so I quickly removed it, sprayed the shield more thoroughly and then replaced it. That made nearly all the film disappear, but there was still a 2 x 2 inch area that looked concerning. That disappeared in about 36 hours. So if it is that type of residue/film, time may help.

If you mean the one with instructions on it yes I removed it but since I didn't try it first I can't answer the first part of your question. I did install an aftermarket screen protector and notice no change for the better or worse. I haven't had a problem with the responsiveness but have not had experience with higher end tablets

No it wasn't I think it was just a little tricky lining up the front cover only because it's one of those put one tab in and the other pops out it's just a matter of fiddeling with it,until you get it because it's plastic and not perfect that's all,hope that helps

I think you could easily remove it by prying gently around the corners until the adhesive loosens. Try using your fingernail. I wouldn't try sliding something under the entire cover, but just try to break the seal of the adhesive, and then you might even be able to slide it off. I removed mine once, when I applied it off-center and wanted to move it. I had no trouble doing that. Good luck!
