Hi,
I installed a new screen protector. It had a paper sticker on it that is supposed to help you peel off the screen protector from the base. After installing the screen protector, i tried to remove to remove the paper stick but it left a smudge of oily and sticky gum with patches of paper.
How can I remove it?

Did you guys got tempered class for Galaxy S3? If you do, share your experiences here. Our experience can be the useful reference for those guys who doesn't own a tempered class.
Here is the tempered class for Galaxy S3 that I share.
I bought one for my S4 mini as well as my S3. I got it off ebay, but I think they are all the same.
The procedure:
In the pack you get a wet alcoholic wipe and a dry microfiber cloth so you can clean the screen thoroughly. After that you can apply the antistatic sticker (also included) so you can prevent dust falling on your screen while you prepare the screen guard. Peel the antistatic sticker and apply glass. Applying the glass is the tricky part because you need to align it good from the start. If you see that the alignment isn't good remove it and try again because if you lay it down whole you will have trouble removing it without damaging the sticky bottom surface. I damaged it on my S4 mini and now 2 small bubbles are in that place. If you achieved perfect alignment you can just drop it - it sticks without any bubbles, but if you entrapped bubbles you can try to push them with the plastic also provided.
About the guard:
I wouldn't suggest drilling it, trying to shoot at it, or making it an shield for explosions like in the pictures. It is more durable and more resistant to scratches than most of the cheap plastic protectors around. It is about 0.3mm thick and that is the only minus. I would recommend it as a better option to plastic ones.
Cheers!

Do you notice the extra thickness compared to a standard screen protector?

I'm currently using a standard screen protector and wanted to find out if the glass one was better than the one I currently have and am I able to use it with any case because I'm looking at changing from the capdase cover I have now. I've been checking on Amazon and I don't know if I should get the zerolemon zero rugged case as a 2 in 1.
Does anyone have instructions or information on the replacement of the factory screen protector?
I know Motorola can replace the screen protector and some folks have had it done for free. Does going this route requires any proof of purchase or other requirements.
I've seen a youtube video, talking about removal but it wasn't complete.
I have also read threads mentioning that removing the screen protector can cause the digitizer to stop working.
I talked to a guy at ubreakifix and he wasn't forth coming about the screen protector removal. He insisted it would be a screen replacement as opposed to just removing the screen protector. From the video the screen protector removal looks to leave behind a much thicker than normal glue. Not sure how this would be removed, some have suggested alcohol. Also, if the screen protector is removed, would it be possible to replace with a glass or other protector that would be easier to deal with?
Any info. on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
I removed the screen protector on one of my Z2 Force. It is difficult and you might pull the screen out. After removing the screen protector, you need to use Goo gone to remove the glue (quite difficult as well). I then installed a glass screen protector.

Don't get Goo Gone near anything plastic. It melts plastic.
Better to use Naptha (e.g. lighter fluid). This is an all purpose solvent that is as good as Goo Gone for removing adhesive, and won't eat plastic.
isn't that plastic that's installed to keep it shatterproof? from what I was told they said not to remove it or it would void the shatterproof warranty.
I just applied an Incipio screen protector to my LG V20. It went fine but when I try to remove the outer masking layer from the protector, it just pulls the whole protector away from the screen.
Any tips? I am doing something wrong? I
can you try to use a piece of scotch tape to grab and lift up that protective film?

When you peel the film off, start at one corner, fold the film back over itself and pull parallel to the screen from top to bottom or bottom to top. Instead of trying the lift it out away from the screen in a more or less perpendicular angle from the screen.

Hello
I just got a refurbished Moto Z2 force. The screen has scratches on the topmost layer. I'm not able to get a hold of the shattershield lens and I've a few questions regarding what I should be doing further.
1. Can I replace the outermost layer with a spigen screen protector?
2. After peeling of the outermost layer, can I clean the residue of the adhesive with rubbing alcohol?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello,
1. Yes, you can use any screen protector you want as long as fits the device.
2. I have not tried alcohol but I think it won't work, try some "Goo Gone" and you should be able to clean the residue off your screen. That is the method I used. You may need a heating gun to remove the shattershield, as the adhesive is very strong and won't come off easily.

I removed mine without a hot air gun. I would advise no one attempt to do it without a hot air gun. Goo gone, credit card and my finger did the trick to remove the in he says. When I initially saw all of the adhesive on my screen I started looking for a new phone.
I finally decided I was tired of the scratches and some deep gouge marks in my shatterproof shield. I purchased a Mr. Shield 2-Pack of tempered glass screen protectors and installed one last night. I did use a goo-gone type of adhesive remover to rid the screen of the leftover adhesive and then used alcohol to do a final cleaning before installation of the tempered glass screen protector. I only wish I would have done it sooner.
Here is the Mr. Shield tempered glass screen protector on Amazon.

On my new note 10 plus there is a film in the back and one on the front, I can't tell if the front one is a screen protector or a twmporary film, it doesnt cover the sides, there is about 1\3 of a inch that is not covered on each side.
Does the factory screen protector cover the left and right sides and the curves ?
In front, it is not temporary film. It is a screen protector. But it will not cover your sides!
The pre-installed screen protector covers the screen up to about 1,5 mm from screen edge. A gap of 1/3" (~8mm) seems too much for that.
I leave them on till they come off on their own
