You use soap to apply these type of protective surfaces.

I would, but I've got an appointment in half an hour and I'll do it when I get back.

It's definitely meant to be removed. It's no thicker than plastic food wrap. It's only there to make sure it's all scratch free when U first receive it.

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........

There was a thread on this right after it came out in the US. About half the people saw scrunching on the right side in three days. Not something a permanent component would do.

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.
