Do you keep the film on the screen?
Posted by James Saunders on July 24th, 2007
I have recently got a new mobile phone (yes another one!), a Samsung i600 free from Orange. It is a very nice phone with all the bells and whistles.
The phone got delivered to me at work last Thursday, and I quickly removed it from its box like an excited boy unwrapping his new Christmas toy. Like most gadgets, PDA’s, phones, cameras etc. the screen had a protective film. This time I peeled the film off straight away, usually I leave it for a day or two until it gets all curly at the edges and it is hard to read the screen.
I don’t know what it is about that screen film but it appears that most people leave it on for a little while, some people even leave it on for ages which starts to drive me mad as it is begs to be pealed off.
Still on a sticky subject, I used to always leave the prices on my CD’s and DVD’s, I don’t really know why, I guess I thought they may be worth more one day with the prices on, or I feared the nasty sticky gooo which is left after taking the price sticker off. One thing I did learn was not to use nail varnish remover to try and take off the sticky residue - it melts the case! This is something I found out on a PlayStation game I brought for Simon’s birthday a couple of years ago.
How long do you leave your film on? Do you leave the prices on your CD’s?

We were definately destined for each other as I too used to leave the price stickers on my CDs! My reasoning for it was so that I could remember how much each one cost and if they were a bargain or not.

I leave the film on all my phones till they curl off and get left behind. Always remove price tags, just a habit on no matter what I buy. You won't find anything with a price on in my house
Main reason for removing the price is to stop my mum having ago at me and spending my money , in her words, "junk"…..back in the day, still do it now to avoid the hassle :p

Prices go from cases, my last phone had screen protector that had "safety" writing all over it, so I couldn't leave it on.

I take all the screen protectors off that come with stuff, but my latest phone I decided to buy one for it (that fits exactly rather than having a peely tab) which has been well worthwhile with the stuff it has to endure!
