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).

You can leave it on or take it off.
I removed mine and there is a big piece on the back of the screen too, that I removed as well you will be surprized on how much cooler the phone runs and it seems to me to run faster.
As for the rubbing issue I have none not even wear but I take care not put it in my pocket! It is supposed to be in the pouch that you need to purchase.

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.

The plastic on mine scrunched up and I had to take it off the first day I had my TP 2.. I think that the same strips lasted on my TP maybe a week at most... HTC has figured out how to pack all that is in the TP 2 into this tiny litlte plastic case, give it enough power to run, and do just about anything we want it to, I'd hope that they could figure out some better alternative to the super scrunchy packing tape strips to protect the super scratchable plastic from the super scratching metal foot.

Super...

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

It's like i'm back in the Titan forums again.

If the dozen people prior to me didn't convince you to remove the shipping plastic, please, allow my post to do so.

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

I thought everyone took them off. If you don't, they will come off in time. Peel it off.
