Ok to keep the plastic shield on?

[DanielLoreti]

Anyone going to keep the plastic shield on their 20? Is it ok to use?

Nope I always take them off from previous Samsung phones and use the screen naked. Prefer the awesome glass feel touch without any protector.

I most likely will till I put a Whitestone Dome on it.

How long is it ok to keep on?

Leave it on as long as you like. It's a film protector.

I leave it on till I can't stand the scratches. It's plastic, so it will scratch

How come whenever I upgrade in store they take it off right away without asking. I just thought it was meant to come off lol.

Because the people behind the counter are trained for the masses that don't care, which is why a lot of members here don't allow them to open the box and will set it up themselves at home.

Let me take a guess /s

Greedy carriers want to sell their over priced screen protectors and cases.

I still got mines on (S10+). Never bothered to replace it with something else. Only planning to take it off (if I do) when I ship back the phone.

For this new phone, Ill do the same. Might jump on that White Dome if I can get a good discount.

I keep mine on, I still have the plastic on the front and back of my Note 10+ I got when they released

Past phones used to just have a plastic film covering, now Samsung includes a film screen protector already installed. They started this with the S10, that is why previously they just ripped it off. It used to just be plastic, not a screen protector.

Because you let them. When I use to buy the phone in carrier stores, I told them before they even got the chance "don't even open it, I'll set it up at home"....

But the sim has to be swapped?

You can do that.

I do the same. I always set up my phones myself at home, whether I buy them online or at a carrier store.

 

[Laura Knotek]

You can do that.

That's why a SIM key is included in the box.

Same. It has a couple of holes/marks so will remove before I send back as a trade in. Don't want to take any chances the person inspecting thinks my phone has scratches

Same. On the S10+ and Note 10+, it lasted me a good couple of months.

I leave it as long as I can. The FPS becomes a PITA once I replace it.
