Thanks!

if its an app that you have downloaded then keep your finger pressed on it until it gives you some options. Delete will be one of them or you could download an apps uninstaller.
Sorry should have mentioned it was a screen protector.

place a piece of tape onto the screen protector, make sure a bit of it does not stick to it, pull it upwards and the screen protector should lift of.
Do it near the edge, but have the tape go towards center of screen.
Hey which steinheil do u have? Can u tell me if its good? Why do u want to remove it? Does it left many fingerprints on it and are they easy to remove? Is there a rainbow effect when it gets wet or fatty?
Im thinking about buying one too.

Hi,
So far so good. I rushed putting this one on and it is not straight! It is great though, but does get the rainbow from my fingers sometimes. A quick wipe on my short and I'm good to go.

I find that with protectors that have been in a while I need to pull away and up to get the tape method to work.
Freshly put on ones come up easily though.

If you're using a cheap thin protector, the sgp's are a good upgrade.
There are plenty of reviews in these forums ans youtube though!
I have the Ultra Clear, and you get the occasional rainbow and fingerprint. It's much less than the cheaper ones I've had before though.
A quick wipe gets rid of most prints too. Unlike one protector I had that would just smudge them around the screen.

It's TOO TIGHT! Yes, it fits on the phone without a problem BUT the button inside of it that is used to press on the power button pushes all the time, causing the phone to reboot.
I've got it sitting on the dash of my truck today to warm up a little, maybe it will stretch then and I will try it while it's warm.
If not, I may have to alter it a little by cutting out the nub that's inside of the button section of the case.
weird... Im using a smoke argyle TPU case for the vibrant on my SGS4G with perfect fitment. and it looks super cool with the shimmering backplate.
Works fine now that I let it sit in the sun a few hours!

Perhaps Gel case was the wrong name for it... Not sure... it may be TPU...
If you go into the T-Mobile store it's somewhat of a rasberry color up top then fading down to black at the bottom.
Had the same problem with mine. Even my friend who is a manager at the T-Mobile store said that the raspberry cover had that issue. I liked the cover so I'm going to try and trim that area down a bit on the inside.
Let me know how it turns out. I ended up taking the case off because I was worried about wearing out the power button. I couldn't even tell it was pushing in when I had the case on.
Yea I'll stick to my bodyglove kickstand case. My wife has one of those skins/shells and I can't stand it as I can't touch the edge of the screen.

The clear one or the black/chrome one?

I bought my Galaxy S 4G today and also bought the black gel case because on the packaging it said "Galaxy S 4G". So dummy me thought it was different then The vibrant, but it is'nt. They are the same. I dont have the problem you do with the case being tight with either one.

The clear one with the black sides. I had one on my Vibrant and loved it, especially for showing off phone skins from skinit.com and for propping it up as my alarm clock at night (thank you Screen Filter and Lightning Bug )

I went into the store and exchanged the raspberry case for the one you mentioned - I love how it feels in my hand!
Glad you like it! It does feel good and the best part imo (like i said before) it doesn't block the screen edges at all.
I wanted to see how many people use screen protectors . If they don't will it scratch easily or has anyone have any scratches because I hate my screen protector and I would to use it with out it but I dont wanna have scratches

I don't use one, I did on my previous phones. I always hated the way the screen protectors felt compared to the bare glass.
The only scratches I have are from dropping my phone on the street, they are more like little nicks in the screen than
scratches. Now that I already have some, I don't think I'll put a screen protector on. I do have a screen protector that came
with my Otterbox if I feel like putting one on.
I figure that by the time I need a new phone, I'll already have a job and enough money to buy a new phone, so I don't feel like
babying this phone too much.
I've been rockin mine completely naked since release back in may.. hardly any scratches, only noticeable in a well lit area with the screen off at a certain angle. My phone went face first on the cement and slid about 7 inches, and I also dropped mine and I slid across my wood floors and still nothing.
However my buddy has deep scratches that can catch a fingernail. Someone else I know dropped his and the screen cracked from about a foot off the ground..

If you're a girl (which you may be, judging by your picture) you keep your phone in your purse. Purses are dirty and have sand/dirt in them. Sand will scratch your phone.
*this is based on my previous girlfriends. You might be cleaner than them.

Only problem with me is I hate to cover up this beautiful screen! It was the main selling point of the phone for me. The way I see it is the screen protector will get scratched too, slaying the gorgeous LCD. It'll preserve the glass, but I'll get a new phone with my upgrade and this one will be passed down to maybe my godchild or someone. Screen protectors are perfect for long term users/others looking for the highest resale value

this is the second reason i use a screen protector (e.g., helps with resale value). i've had one on my phone from day one; not much of risk taker when it comes to the screen.
No screen protector here. Not one scratch either. This screen is too nice to cover up.

You should be good as long as you don't put it in your pocket with your keys or anything that can scratch it. Also, remember to lightly get most of the dust off before you wipe off finger prints. That way you won't get any small hairline scratches. If you're careful you should be good without one.

I've always preferred naked.
Having said that I've damaged a few too.
If u want to resell, use a cover for the back and a protector for the screen.
The polycarbonate backing within a few days started to show marking.
The screen has a very feint hairline scratch down the middle, but it hasn't been dropped & I'm very careful with handling it.
I'm yet to find covers or protectors that keep the phone looking good as nude, but if u want it looking good as new u wanna cover it up.

I looked up closest ghost armor retailer and had them install the clear ghost armor on the screen and the black carbon weave armor on the back.
I originally had them put a white one on the back as my X is white, but went back and they changed it to a black one for me at my request. Looks good in white an black.
Cost of two pieces installed was 20 bucks, 5 bucks if I ever need a half replaced for life of phone.

I have never used a screen protector. When I bought my One X I was talked into the Zagg protector from an AT&T employee, It wasn't bad but after it started getting hot here in AZ, I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen protector was slidin around. So I took it off. Havn't bothered to replce it and actualy like it better without.
I have always preferred naked phones.
I have never found a screen protector that doesn't make the phone less responsive or make the screen less crisp.
Looking at your phone wrong can cause the One X screen to scratch. (See the thread in the general section, or just Google One X screen scratch)
Others have recommended the Zagg HD screen protector, but I haven't tried one myself.

I don't have a case but always had a clear screen protection on my devices amd never felt a difference. I'd rather pit one on then having to look at a deep scratch every time I look at the screen, that's thousand times more annoying to me.

Hey,
For all of you that own a white HOX, have you experienced the matte white finish on the back of the device gradually wearing away near the bottom corners (or wherever you most often hold it from) and losing its characteristic grippy matte-ness, becoming slightly shiny and smooth?
I'm concerned about the long term consequences of using the HOX without a case (although i use a case) as the bottom right area of my phone has lost some of its matte texture, become smooth white.
I don't have a problem with the white finish on mine. The only problem I have is the SN, IMEI, and SKU sticker coming off from sliding it in and out of my pocket.

How long have you had it? I've had mine for 2-3 months and so far it's okay. There might be a little shininess going on, but it's hard to tell.

I don't have that problem. I mean, I have the glamour grey one, but I digress...
Does anyone have a problem with the screen flaking? I guess it's the anti glare coating on the beveled edge for me is flaking off. I can't understand it because it's been in a case the entire time i've had it. Of course I can't call up warranty since i've rooted and unlocked my bootloader. This sort of software modding thing though shouldn't void a defect warranty.

I've had mine since around the beginning of April. As of right now, the wearing away has been pretty minor, and is distinctly noticeable in direct light, and appears around the bottom edge, near the corners, as that is where I most commonly hold my phone from.
I actually have a case on right now, but noticing this slight wear-away concerned me (which further convinced me to keep a case on), but wasn't sure whether or not it would keep wearing away.
I would describe it as... a smoothing out of the matte finish, kind of the way it looks if it gets a little oily. The affected areas are more reflective and 'shiny' , but not truly smooth like the finish on the GS3
Again, it's not major, but just something I was wondering about.
This is common in plastic items if you look at a well used mouse or keyboard over time the most struck areas will smooth out lucky the hox is mad of inject molded plastic so the white one is solid white so it wont "rub" off it will just show polish like brass over time.
My grey one did that after about 2 months. Two spots about the size of a dime on the back, where it would touch when set down. They polished to a shiny slippery finish. Haven't used a case at all.

Yeah, mines getting shiny on the corners, and my screen has some barely perceptible scratches on it. I'm not too worried at the moment though, I'm going to warranty swap due to a bright spot on my screen.

You shouldn't need to keep that on your phone anyway. You should have received at least one or two extra stickers in the packaging that came with the phone, which are there to be used for warranty purposes etc...

I was checking out the ballistic and Siedo case discussion on this section and a gentleman presented this case. Neither him or I have this case but just look at it. If you really need the highest level of protection then this case seems to be it!
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=360549613773&index=8&nav=SEARCH&nid=66660487352
It even offers cover for the 3.5 mm headphone jack, kickstand, and a holster!
I picked the red link since I like the color red, but they also offer it in black, purple, red (duh), white and blue.
Let me know what you guys think

One of the sellers is German.
I ordered a black + blue one a few days ago so I should recieve it in a few days. I also spotted a white + pink one too. I was impressed by the cheap Exact armor case I got from amazon, so I have high expectations on this one.
what do u do for a living, remove land mines?
I too have the 4 dollar exact Armor case from amazon and it's very well built I dropped my phone this morning on the way to the bathroom (about a e feet fall into my foot) and it survived pretty well! I wonder if this could be the case that I would be using to go to the gym with though. I would have to find a way to attach it to my bicycle. Nothing duct tape can't resolve!

Get a RAM XGrip mount for your bike and it will fit any phone in any case (except maybe a Note 2).
Another heavy-duty case here.
I'm going to order one of these to the UK
