Why would you want to if you're going to put a Zagg on it anyway? You'd be removing the shatter resistance.Has anyone tried to remove the "removable polycarbonate top layer"? I think the gorilla glass itself is sufficient for me... With a zagg glass over it of course.
The Bodyguardz for my S5 Active came with form/guide that positioned the protector perfectly on the phone. Does the Bodyguardz for the S7/Active come with a form/guide?
I just opened the Bodyguardz replacement screen they sent. I don't see a form/guide. What is included is the protector in a clear protective sleeve, a little suction cup, a microfiber cloth, a squeegee card, a couple of dust removal stickers.
The instructions are minimal as follows:
1) Attach the suction cup to the protector
2) Holding on to the suction cup, peel off the back liner, then align the protector over your device and gently lay it down
3) Press and slide your finger along the center of the protector, removing the suction cup as you do.
4) Use the provided squeegee card and/or microfiber cloth to push any bubbles to the edges. Any remaining bubbles will work themselves out
within 24-48 hours.
I may give it another try myself when I'm in the mood and feel lucky.
I contacted Samsung about the scratches on my phone and was informed the only way to change the top layer is to replace the entire screen for $270. The scratches aren't noticeable with the the display on, but it's pretty bad that one of their selling points is a lie.
i believe those instructions are for the removal and replacement of their branded screen protector, and NOT the 'out-of-box' polycarbonate screen, which would have to be heat bonded to the glass screen (not just stuck to it) to provide shatter resistance.
