Is it possible to REMOVE the glass from this case? I don't think I will need that. Also, Im concerned about reflective glare.

Yes it is but I ended breaking the glass. It will cause a glare if your using night vision cameras.

Yes the glass can be removed if you wanted to. This defeats the weather and insect protection however. During daylight hours the pictures from the camera is excellent. At night, if using cameras with IR for night vision, it will reflect the light back into the camera. You could disconnect the IR cable from the camera, but unless you are in a very bright area you will lose the night vision. You could still disconnect the IR from the camera and buy an external IR unit to mount on the outside of the case. Keep in mind that this case is very large and designed for use with professional cameras, although in most cases if you have a quality camera it is possible to mount it in this unit.

Yes, you can get the glass out. The glare is only a problem with the IR's mounted on the camera. I just open the cameras and unplug the IR assembly.
510241
yes.. you need to remove or you will have problem with the glare when you put the camera inside
510242
Well, yes you could... 4 retainer screws. But wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the weather proofing? I've 5 of these installed, with Logitech C910 Pros, or C920 Pros pushed up against the glass. No reflections. Yep, facing into sun or bright light, you may have some flare, but you likely would anyway... Besides and occasional Rain-X application on the glass helps rain and snow fall off quickly...oops... edit: Yes, I suppose you'd have IR reflection with self-lighting IR cams.. sorry, didn't think of that when I posted....

I'm sorry I cant help you. After the first one scratched so easily, I threw the others away and bought new ones. Normally you peel one side, apply and then peel other side. The key is to have the glass really clean and use a lint free cloth so no foreign matter under the shield

Yes. It is not one of those that you put on like window tint. It is a clear and framed one. Frame is snapped on to the case.

you ca not. since it is glass. it is like owning a plasma tv great picture, but the glass panel produces glare or reflections. you could put an anti glare film on top of the glass if you want. it works but seems a bit over kill, but works.

Wish I could help you. I put mine on the glass - do you plan to ever remove it?

Impede clarity of screen? Didn't know such a thing was possible... only thing bad I can say about the screen coating is it needs Windex more often than I expected (that or it's just me being OCD about it)

I have a screen protector on it, but it is non glare from what I can see. Hope this helps.

It's definitely glossy and reflective, but I wouldn't say that there's any more glare than the original screen by itself. It's really quite unnoticeable. Unless maybe your screen brightness is all the way down and you're out in direct sunlight at noon, but then there's always the viewfinder.

I presently do not use a non-glare shield but am considering it. I mostly use my windows surface indoors, but if you use yours outside, it is probably a good idea at minimal cost.

the glass is a little bit thick, so your case should not overlap too much with the screen. Normal ones are just ok.

On either side of the case there is a very small lip that clips over the edge of the glass . When the case is warm it is a bit easier to remove simply hold the phone horizontal in your hands and using your thumbs push up and back on the lip of the case will come off the lip and then removal will be fairly easy after that .

I find glare a problem as well. As one poster says, "the reflection is not a bother at all", well, that makes me wonder is there is still some reflection. I have a matte screen now and love it - no glare even with direct light. I'd love to upgrade my TV to 1080p but can't seem to find screens that are matte any more. So frustrating when manufactures do stuff like this. They should at least make it an option.

There was a wrap on mine! it was kind of hard to peel off I was so afraid that I was going to scratch the glass but i thought the same thing when I got mine the mirror was all curvy. Tell her to take the plastic wrap off, its really hard to see but I found a little bubble in the mirror and just peeled it off.

Can be removed without residue but the glass will mostlikely crack. It is not ment to come off until it is damaged or no longer wanted

The board definitely does "not" have a matted finish. You can see images of the surrounding room on the face of the glass. It doesn't bother me, but this probably isn't the board for you if you need non-glare.

It is anti-fingerprint but not fingerprint proof. It's certainly more muted than using a plastic shield or a bare iphone and wipes off very easily. It's also not anti-glare but I've never worried about that before and never really notice reflections unless the screen is off.

why would you want to? remove the film from protector. Glass adds weight and can be broken.
