LMAO you guys are hilarious that really think any plastic that ships with the phone is suppose to stay on there. It's all for shipping and what not. Really who has that much plastic on there phone??? Just like someone said earlier it's just like the plastic that came on the screen, and i'm guessing if it didn't have words and tf3d on it you would assume that was meant to stay there as well lol. i guess HTC should start putting "remove" on the plastic to help these folks out haha

One of those plastic strips scrunched itself all up the first day I had the phone sliding the KP open.

There is NO WAY they where meant to stay on after purchase........

Way back when I had a mogul there were longs threads about taking the plastic off of the keyboard where it slides ... it's never ending. LOL

Can we see a picture without the strip?

EDIT: See this. Different Model but I guess it would be on this one as well if it was meant to stay on.

I too think the plastic protectors are meant to come off. One of mine practically fell off when I slid open the phone for the first time. Trouble is, I like them and wish I could keep them on. Alas, one fell off, the other doesn't want to come off... Now I'm all lopsided..... looks like oppo.

I took the plastic off on day 1, many slides later the edges of my TP2 are as pristine as the day it came out of the box. The plastic is meant to come off people (IMO).

lol op you're being too paranoid. it's suppoosed to come off. if you had a tp or even an older model, you'd know this. people keep telling you this, but you seem to refuse to accept it. so leave it on, but stop telling people it's supposedo to stay on. I suppose the big SPRINT sticker on the back is supposed to stay on too? If they wanted to brand our phones they would have painted it on.

here is the other thread on this topic... if it were meant to be there, it wouldn't come off http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=85650

They are meant to come off, I personally made replacements from screen protector material.
