There appears to be a thin plastic film on the back. Has anyone peeled it off or is it intended to stay on?

I'm sorry, but I don't really remember, but I looked at mine and it doesn't have any plastic film. I'm guessing I must have peeled it off. I can't think of any reason to have it there.

I peeled it off, I think it was part of packaging. Although I cann't see any harm leaving it on.

Hello Daniella. This was in my spam folder for some reason. Sorry it's taken so long to respond. I only had one in my package. It still hasn't gone bad or peeled. It's awesome! They will replace it if it doesn't stay on or peels.

I started at the bottom and lifted the black rubber up. I gently pulled it off the bottom corners then slipped it off. I would try not to stretch it too much or it won't stay tight on the plastic when you put it back on.

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.

Check the edges of the screen carefully, there may be a thin clear protective film that peels off. I suspect the lettering you see is on the film not the panel.

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

I had one on my iphone4s for over the 2 years I had it and it only peeled off around the camera/ speaker after about 20 months. Not a problem. It's the best.

The first one I put on peeled the first day. I had cleaned the screen with eyeglass wipes prior to sticking it but apparently it was contaminated. The second one I wiped with the same cleaner and stuck it and its been on for a couple months with no sign of peeling.

I haven't tried to remove it, but I have been debating it because lately my screen isn't as responsive to touch. I don't know alot about screen protectors and if there is a limit to how long they work. It may also be my tablet that's the problem. However, it is still as attached to my screen as it was day one (none of the edges are coming up).

I think It peels off... I just returned it because it wasn't a great fit... If u just want the protection without The screen maybe u should get a commuter

When I put mine on I was told that the sticky side goes towards the phone (LCD). Make sure that the old glue or adhesive is completely gone before applying the new screen. As far as the plastic film I dont remember exactly but I would say after it is applied so you dont scratch it.

Another reviewer mentioned that there's a thin plastic protective coat over the lens that some people are not removing before using. Is this possibly your issue?

No protective film in the package. It is a pretty snug fit. So far, I haven't been able to pull it off my phone and don't want to try right now. I would say it is hard to get off. It has a rubber rim that is flexible enough to try and pull it back, but it fits like a glove, and gives you side buttons for the volume and on/off.

There should be a thin sheet of clear plastic paper on the back. Its not noticeable but you can keep trying and it will come off. Even after it comes off I still had to use glue to make it stay on the canvas.

Have had no trouble with ours. Possibly try reapplying it. Sorry we can't help more. Do you use a screen protector?

supposedly it comes off very easily when u take off the cover,i cant get it off either ,maybe if u turn it and twist it it should lift off because it does lock down in there when you put it back on
