Do You Peel Off the Plastic covering before using the phone?

[Starfyre]

I noticed the plastic around the phone looks like it would be a good protector, anyone put it in their leather case or other case without peeling off the plastic covering it comes with?

I'd like to see you post something that actually adds to the thread or generates good discussion and feedback for everyone that comes here.

No harm in that, I leave the plastic film on my mattresses and leather couches too.

Leaving that on is like leaving a condom on all day... get a mental image of that LOL

I laughed at this post. What's next, iPhone white box is a good carrying case?

 

[nparmelee]

Yes, YES you do. Unless you don't plan on using the device...

I keep it on till I get a screen protector which is usually within one or two days.

Maybe you should actually read them, you might find something interesting or laugh a little.
You are too much in the numbers.

So I ended up cutting the top as they don't have holes for the speaker, so it was really hard to actually hear anyone talk. Keeping the back one on. Until I get the screen protector, I left the bottom over the home screen after discovering that accessibility option that puts a home button on screen.

I think this is the first time the front plastic was physically connected to the plastic on the back of the phone. I wound up cutting the plastic such that the plastic on the front came off, and I left the plastic on the back of the phone on.

I figure it would not hurt to have it on the backside of the phone. I also slipped the phone into an Apple leather case immediately after removal from the box. Will the plastic on the back make a difference? Maybe, maybe not. Now that the phone is in its case, I don't even notice it.

With cases in the past, I have noticed dirt get between the case and the back of the phone, and I am always a bit paranoid that these will scratch the back of the phone.
