Removing Griffin Survivor Screen Protector?

theMIGHTYtroll said:

I have actually recently just removed the built in screen protector for the Griffin Survivor iPad case. It is not an easy feat, due to the strong glue, but in the end, you will notice a much more easier experience. If you have the new iPad, you will notice how beautiful the screen actually is. No more of that colorful grainy watermark. Touch responsiveness is also much, much better. I think Griffin utterly fails at implementing built in protectors into their cases. My only concern for you is the process and end result. It is fairly tough to get it off and clean off some of the excess glue, but in the end, it's all worth it.
If you have additional questions or want actual steps in removing the screen protector, just ask.

Also, with any screen protector designed for the protective cases, there will be a slight "pixilation" with the retina display. Unfortunately, it is just some that could not be avoided.

I have had the Griffin Survivor case for my new iPad for a couple of weeks now. I just can't seem to get used to the screen protector, but I LOVE the rubberized outer shell. The case is great, and I'm very happy, with the except for the screen protector. It seems to create an air pocket between the screen and my fingers causing the keyboard to only detect about 80-90% of what I actually touch. Maybe I just have a light touch.

Have any of you been successful at removing the screen protector? I'm thinking I can just take it apart and use a razor blade or something and slice off the screen protector, then reassemble it to fully expose the iPad screen.

Perhaps I could even use a stick-on screen protector instead of the one built into the case to give the screen some protection.

Thoughts?

With the new cases do some of them have the protector screen that goes on last when putting it together (after the silicone case). It looks like a good case but one side has a shorter clip so not as firm on that side and something that makes me think it looks kind off fake. Might be me just being skeptical as I tend to be. I have seen images on google of coloured ones that look the same but nothing on youtube. Thanks for any help

I've known people do it with the iPhone version, but I have no problems with mine except for then"p" key which takes a slightly harder tap. I didn't consider one for my iPad though....They are great protection, but let's face it, they are pig ugly.....[/QUOT

I just took the screen protecter using a knife. It's quite simple, actually. It just takes a while to take it off, and also be aware of stabbing your own finger cause if you aren't careful enough, you get bloody holes on your palm. So you find a place where the screen protecter isn't so jammed with the outside and pull it, use a knife to help you cut off the screen protecter. It took me like 5 mins.
