If currently have a glass screen protector, could it still be used under this case's screen shield or would it be necessary to remove it? Thanks.

Hello, This would depend on the depth of the glass screen protector. The Hideaway is built for a snug fit and this includes the built-in screen protector.

The screen protector is part of the top portion of the case. It can not be left off. I found this was a better option for myself.

What would be the point if it can not be removed, Say you dropped the phone and the temped glass shattered but protected the original screen. If you can not remove the glass then the screen is still broke

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.

I use a plastic screen protector but I think it will work with glass as well, the case doesn't cover much of the screen only the thin silver border. Hope that answers your question!

Yes, you will still need a screen protector. I have been told by others that this is not enough protection if the phone is dropped on a hard surface. I'm being extra careful.

The Commuter case I have is open in the front. It did come with a included plastic screen protector but I installed a glass one and it seems to fit fine. The screen protector I have has sloped or curved edges, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not. But I haven't had any issues with it so far. The only issue I would guess would be if the glass you get has sharp edges and they catch on the silicone edges that frame the front of your phone. It might not be an issue for you. I can only tell you my experience with the screen protector I have. I hope this helps. Have a good day. :)

Yes, you would still need a case. Any case would work really. I heard that you just can't use a 2-piece slide on case because those would lift the screen protector.

Yes, a glass protector can be used. It is not textured in the back but provides some grip. It feels like hard rubber so it provides more grip than the phone alone.

I haven't tried removing the protector, as it went on fairly evenly. If you can pick up an edge you should be able to peel it off.

I don't have a screen protector on. When its not in use the flap on the case protects the screen perfectly. I also don't use outside so glare would not be a problem for me personally. I personally would not use anything. It is really just situational.

I don't use a screen protector, but I can say for sure that this case does not cover the glass whatsoever. It only covers the very slim bezel on the front, so I would assume any kind of screen protector would not be a problem.

It's glued to the case. I was a little concerned with that myself, but as I've been using this for sometime now, I can barely tell that the screen protector is there. But anyway, I guess you could cut it off and it wouldn't hurt anything. It does offer some nice protection though.

I don't know. As far as I have been able to determine it does not need one. If you already have one on the phone I would take it off. The glass over the screen makes it less sensitive, particularly around the corners and a screen protector under the glass would only make is less sensitive to touch.

No, the screen protector is separately applied. You could omit applying the screen protector if so desired.

If you mean, do you have to remove an existing protector to use this case, then I do not believe you would have to if you have just a normal adhesive screen protector on it.It came with an adhesive screen protector, stylis and small cleaning pad.

You COULD remove the clear screen cover but I would highly discourage it - though extremely thin, it does provide an extra element of protection and an extra element of snugness with the front part of the case to the back - since it is also sealed to the very edges, it helps maintain water resistance, whereas you using your existing screen protector would not.
