will taking off the factory film make a difference?

[212rikanmofo]

I am trying to resist the urge from taking off the plastic film off my new iPad until my case comes in. But I am curious as to whether or not it will make a noticeable difference since its a retina-display, will it look much better with the film off?

Take it off, if you are careful enough, it won't harm your iPad to use it naked for a few days.

Sure, take it off, I'm using mine naked, just clean after use...I don't use screen protectors anyway.

It'll look a lot better!

I tried to keep mine on for the same reason, but was forced to remove it when I needed access to the dock connector to charge. I was honestly pretty blown away by the display with the factory film on, but taking it off just made it a thousand times better.

Just be careful with it and you shouldn't have any problems with a naked iPad for a while

That film is put there in the factory to protect the device during transportation.

Once you receive the iPad it is meant to be taken off and thrown away!!!!

I left mine on for a couple days until my screen protector arrived. There is a very noticeable difference. The screen looks so much better without the factory film.

It looks so much better without a screen protector as well. I had to take mine off after a day because it made the screen look so grainy and crap.

I feel like we've reached a new level of facepalm.

I can't believe you took it out of the box! IMO it's simply too dangerous to actually use the iPad, leave it in the box on the shelf.

Stop the OCD and get the plastic off your device.

Hate screen protectors, do not care how good they are they will detract from the quality of view when applied. If you are a klutz and drop your iPad a LOT, guess you need something. I have used an iPad from the first day they were released and never a scratch.

You know when you buy a new tv and it comes with one of those thin foam covers, do you leave that on?

You must've had an anti-glare protector. A good clear one will not make your screen look grainy at all.

Considering my iPad 2 got scratched Im not taking any chances this time. Im keeping the plastic on until I have a decent cover. The smart cover is on but most case manufacturers are going to need a few weeks to get their iPad 3 cases ready. My iPad 2 neoprene case is fine for now but i feel the iPad 3 is just a bit more fragile and needs more dedicated protection
