Does Sony's pre-installed screen protector need to be removed before applying this?

The factory installed protector is installed only for transport, and should be removed before appying any other screen protector.

If you are talking about the clear film from the packing yes. That is the only thing mine had on it.

Be aware the product you are installing is poor quality and the company ignores customers. Good luck

I dont think it can be removed. I guess you could cut it out with an exacto knife or something. But the built in one works just fine so you would probably be better off returning the other screen protector or using it later.

Yes. It had a peel off piece of plastic covering the pre-applied adhesive. We took the old screen off before ordering it, so all we had to do was peel the plastic, plug it in and press it on.

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

Hello Hambrighty,Thanks for your question! Our screen protectors do not leave any residue once removed. If there is anything on your screen, a nice buff from the enclosed Microfiber Cleaning Cloth should alleviate anything on there. :)If you have any more questions, feel free to let us know here or at support@ismooth.comHave a good day~BrookeCustomer ServiceiSmooth

Yes. That is what I have. I had more than a little trouble getting the screen to be lint free before installing .... and the air bubbles drove me crazy. After only a few hours I yanked it off and chalked it up to experience. I should have gotten the anti-glare screen in the first place.

Joe, the answer is no, you do not need to put any water or solution on the screen. You just align it and let it carefully touch the glass, then with almost no pressure you will see glass of the protector stick to phone glass. The easiest install I ever had to make and the most forgiving too. Check out this video from manufacturer... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXYZEb-56Wc

There is a thin protective film that you have to remove from the screen (that's the C) , I left it on so when my kids fingerprints build up I can just peel the thin film off and voila! clean new screen

Yes and no. I did remove mine to clean a few small specs of dust that had small bubbles. I successfully cleaned those and replaced the protector. You need a very clean and lint/dust free environment. Once it is in place and acceptable you don't want to remove it because it is very difficult to get it perfect. Just clean it installed.

Clean screen with pad to remove lint. The screen protector is sandwiched between two clear sheets. One should be marked top. When you installmake sure that side is up.

no. simply clean your screen and apply just like any other screen protector.

I've removed one thus far to deal with a couple of bubbles (my problem during installation). The screen was clean.

Yes, I had to remove the screen protector completely. I could not use this product.

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.

Not sure about that. I just got the protectors and have not attempted to remove them. I think that with a little goo gone you should be able to get it off.

I did not, I simply just stuck it on my screen and used a bubble remover to remove any excess air bubbles. Hope this helps

Mine did. Just don't touch it or clean it before you put it on. That will ruin the screen protector.
