Anyone who put matted screen protectors or blue light screen protectors on etched glass screens or whether LCD or OLED, took off their screen protectors before? Does it damage your etched screen? I normally put screen protectors on everything and I saw on couple of amazon reviews for screen protectors that it damages by using dust remover sticker on etched screen…. I was wondering if any one have experience on having it on for awhile and took off?
You will not rip glass shards from the screen.
But the glue from the dust removal sticker will really, really love to grab and stay on the microscopic crevices on the etched glass surface.
Same goes for the glue of the screen protector.
So basically any screen protector will damage etched screen?
More than that, it will basically fill the gaps on the screen surface with glue altering the light scattering.
Most it can happen is that you think it sucks, and you will eventually spend a lot of time rubbing to bring it back to original conditions.
70% isopropyl is fine since it’s glass, not a spray finish (at least on the LCD deck) but remember
DO NOT SPRAY ANY KIND OF LIQUID DIRECTLY ON THE SCREEN
I REPEAT NEVER SPRAY DIRECTLY ON THE SCREEN
Glass can withstand it but if a given amount of liquid seeps trough the screen edges, it might cause delamination of the screen or pocket of fluids under the screen glass surface
Just get lint free paper napkins or a microfiber cloth, spray moderately on it (if the cloth seems moist to the leaking point just squish it hard in your hand, it will redistribute the cleaning fluid) and then rub.
Is there a way to safely remove a screen protector?
yes no issues.
I had a screen protector on my original 512gb deck with matte screen for well over a year. when I did a shell swap I removed it and it was totally perfect underneath
