Is it ok to leave the plastic film on the poewr brick as is?

Hello. Just received the new MBP. The power brick of my old SR MBP is full of scratches. To prevent this from happening again, is it a good idea to let the plastic firm which wrapped around the power brick (when I took it out of the box) as is? Will it melt or cause problem later? Thanks.

What is it with you and your plastic covers? Who cares if the power brick gets scratched up? I'd take it off; the brick can get hot (although not to the point where it will melt).

It's fine to leave the plastic on. No melting occurs. I did for the past few weeks with a new power brick, until I needed to wrap up the cord on those little flip out legs, which can't be done unless you unwrap the plastic
