I have a dent in my protector and want to replace it. How do I remove the old one? Does it just pull off?

A medium heat from a heat gun or hairdryer spread evenly back and forth over the protector will loosen the adhesive and you can pry off the protector with your fingers.

Take off the pre-install screen protector. Once I did that the quality was the SAME as the original. The pre-install screen protector is REALLY thick and blocks the quality of the screen.

I am guessing you are asking about pulling it off? I have replaced them and they leave no marks or scratches at all - in fact that is what they protect the screen from...

The best that I can say is to pull it off very slowly. You can use your fingers to gently pry the adhesive away from the device. It may seem like you may break the case, device, or both, but if you go slowly, it will come off.

This is just a clear protective cover that adheres to the surface of the iPhone. If you are removing an old one, you should be able to clearly see the edge. Use a plastic spudger or credit card or even fingernail to peel up the old one. Be careful not to use a hard object like a razor blade or anything or you might scratch the surface of the screen. Once you get a corner up it should come off quite easily.

I used a xacto knife and cut it out. then used my original screen protector.

I am not sure. I would guess you should use a pry bar or scraper. Amount of care depends on if you want to re-use the device.

I believe you mail the old screen protector back to them and pay shipping for the replacement. I don't have the paperwork handy at the moment though, so I can't say for sure.

Mine came with a small tool to allow you to remove it at anytime. It basically let's you slip under the corner and pops the protector off.

According to the documentation, it can be removed and reused. I haven't tried that, but saw nothing when I applied the protector to lead me to believe there would be any residue.

I have removed 2 of them from my phones (I put the first one on wrong, and the seccond I purchased a different phone). They are very easy to take off. It doesn't leave any marks like some peole have talked about. You just peel it up, and pull it off.

I removed my phone case and used a long fingernail at the edge, at a corner to peel it up some. That showed me it was the protective layer cracked - not my phone screen. I was out traveling at the time and just dropped by ATT location and they pulled it off the rest of the way - made sure my phone was okay and applied a new one for me.

You should be able to just peel it right off. If you do not see the edge of the screen protector then there might not be one one there yet. If you need help putting the new screen protector on then you can always look on YouTube on videos on how to do it.

Try using a very thin plastic piece on the very corner and pry up gently. Then if you can get your fingernail under it, gently peel away the protector from the screen. After removing, try cleaning the screen with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner. Do not spray directly on to the screen. Key word here is ' gently'. Good luck!

I would remove the flimsy one that the case comes with. Im using a tempered glass screen protector on mine with no issues.

When I removed the protector, I just lifted one corner and peeled it off. It did not damage the screen or leave a residue on the screen. I did clean the screen per directions before installing another one.

simply unscrew the 2 bottom screws in the phone and then slid the back cover up about 1/4 inch and then you can simply lift out away, then put the replacement on the frame in about the same position the old one was lifted out from and slide it down into place, then replace the 2 bottom screws and done. be careful not to lose the tiny screws, having a small needle nose pliers, tweezers, or some other small tool that can hold it as you place it back in it's hole is helpful. and don't forget you will need the 5-star screw driver to unscrew these as they are not Phillips or Hex, but 5-star.
