Suggestions for removing otterbox defender screen protector?

[55test55]

Any suggestions for removing the built in screen protector and touchid protector? Also, do the front plastic protective plates scratch the screen?

Thanks!

The front plastic plates don't scratch the screen and to remove the built in protector, I just pop it out and try to do it slowly and get as much glue with the screen protector all at once. I just did this yesterday! I had two small spots of glue left in the plastic that I just rubbed off with my finger. The case fits with a tempered glass screen protector too!

Agreed, for any residual glue goo gone works well and is quite quick

I've done my own and for friends. A hair dryer on high heat on directly on the side the adhesive is on (so the inside) for 2-4 minutes and it pops right off. I haven't had any issues with residual adhesive.

I've peeled it off carefully. Once you get started, it gets easier. Goo gone for cleaning. Make sure you get it nice and dry though.

Be sure to add your own scren protector. I've removed the built in otterbox screens for years, but it does sometimes to scratch up the inside on the added screen protector. (I'd hate to see if it actually would scratch a screen.)

I installed an iCarez glass screen protector and it's quite amazing. Fits great with the Defender. (6 Plus)
