Can you remove the built-in screen protector? I want to install tempered glass...

You might be able to but your glass would have to be very thin as the phone fits fairly snug in the case.

No it is all one piece. It would probably tear if you did. It's very thin plastic

I am sure it is just glued, so should, with time can be removed. Haven't tried myself but if similar to otter box version then can be

The screen protector is removable, but is a thin piece of plastic. I'm not sure if there's enough space for your glass.

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

The screen protector is built in.. but I'm sure you could just pop it out if you wanted to.

I believe you could remove it. Although I have no experience. I've only installed mine but could probably remove it if it became necessary.

I didn't try but I don't see why not. If you are wanting to remove it to add a glass one it might be tough. The clearances are pretty tight, so it would have to be a thin glass protector to work. The face of this case is hard plastic and the sides are rubber (like otter box). The back is plastic but molded to the sides so the case is 2pc. So if there was something holding the front off it would be hard to work the sides into the channels they lock in. It's kind of hard anyways, which is good because to me shows quality in mfg. and that the case should last a long time. The protector on it is pretty thick but almost not there at the same time.

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

Unfortunately, no. Once the screen protector is removed from the screen, it is no longer usable. If you were to clean it, the adhesive which allows it to stick to the screen would no longer work.

The screen protector seems to be built in, like most Otterbox-type cases, but you could probably remove it by tearing it out if you wanted to just permanently not have a plastic film in the case. From my experience, though, the screen guard isn't super easy to scratch and it's comforting to be able to keep finger oil, food, drink, moisture, and scratches off of the screen itself.

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.

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.

It does not have the built in screen protector. It does come with a protector to apply, but the tempered glass one you have installed is much better.

Yes, I had to remove the screen protector completely. I could not use this product.

Not sure what a "built in screen protector" is. I have a removable screen protector, and the touch screen works with the armband.

No, the screen protector is built in. I've read online that some people cut them out and just use another screen protector film.

I don't use screen protector. It is easy to remove but I don't suggest removing at all. It is plastic so you'll risk it getting loose or break the hooks on the sides.

Hi. Not sure I understood your question. But in general, once you apply the screen protector I dont think you can take it off and apply again cause the sticky side gets stained with fingerprints or dust particles in the air

No built in screen protector. Which is good in a way because moisture gets trapped between it and the screen. Which makes dirt stick, too. Better off with a 'on the glass' protector IMHO.
