Can the built-in screen protector be "popped" out?

Yes, but as a screen protector you might look into a H9 tempered glass to fill in that gap that's left from the thick plastic they include, It works great as the glass is a lot thicker than a thin plastic screen protector not to mention a lot more durable.

Yes. Pop it out, make sure you remove the adhesive once removed. I had to remove mine due to the soapiness effect I'd get from screen to phone.

Yes, but then the case won't fit snugly. Might be able to remove the screen and keep the sides by cutting g it out...

Yes, if you do not mind opening the back (4 phillips screws) and unscrewing it on the inside it comes off. Also if you are handy with electronics you can make the image MUCH clearer by peeling off the resistive touch screen layer that is on the LCD inside.

Yes, it does come out, the screen protector is attached to the front hard plastic part of the case with an adhesive. you can lightly heat the cover with a hair dryer and the screen cover will come right out. It can also be removed without heat by using a sharp edge along the inside to work a section of the screen protector away from the adhesive, it can then be slowly pulled out.

It's not hard to remove. Just pull the plastic piece off the back and remove the rubber portion. If you're using the screen protector you'll have to put it back in every time but not bad in my opinion.

No. The screen protector is not built-in. They just provide a screen protector with it that you can install. This is the best phone case we found for the LG G2 and we tried most of them which isn't many. We had this since January and we just had to replace the screen protector, so it may not last as long as some or my son was just hard on it. So I would suggest ordering a 3 pack to have for backup. My son and I got the LG G2 at the same time in January and he got this case and I got another one called VS980 Hybrid Heavy Duty Kickstand Protector Case with stylus pen and my phone dropped out of my lap onto the pavement 4 weeks later, landed on the end and cracked the lens from the bottom and the insurance cost me $100 and they didn't have my phone so gave me the Droid Maxx. Had to get new case, etc. But anyway, my case had hard plastic on the corner that actually jarred my phone worse and caused the damage. My son's case, this Beyond Cell Tri-shield is doing a great job and is very protective and he has dropped his phone several times with no damage.

Yes. When you take the case off, the screen protector sticks to the screen. One problem with the I-blason is that with the built in screen protector, whenever you press it it leaves a mark, and to me it was annoying! But no, you do not have to replace the screen protector!

The screen protector is removable, but is a thin piece of plastic. I'm not sure if there's enough space for your glass.

No though it is a little snug so the first couple times you may need to put a liittle force behind it. Just to confirm the screen faces in not out.

You COULD remove the clear screen cover but I would highly discourage it - though extremely thin, it does provide an extra element of protection and an extra element of snugness with the front part of the case to the back - since it is also sealed to the very edges, it helps maintain water resistance, whereas you using your existing screen protector would not.

It's glued to the case. I was a little concerned with that myself, but as I've been using this for sometime now, I can barely tell that the screen protector is there. But anyway, I guess you could cut it off and it wouldn't hurt anything. It does offer some nice protection though.

I'm such a dork! Is that what that plastic thing was? It did have a plastic thing in it that was probably supposed to be a screen protector. I thought it was packaging material and I removed it. It was glued in there with a bead of something like silicone caulking that allowed it to be removed without a great deal of difficulty once you broke that seal and tugged at it. Duh. :)

Yes, it is built in to the case, but from what I understand, it is replaceable. Adds another level of user friendlyness to the Gumdrop cases. We have had our case on our Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 for the past year and a half with my 7 year old using it for games, and have not had to replace the screen protector yet.

It's quite easy to take it in and out. You simply slide it in through that wide slit in the back. (and to be honest, the protector is not very obtrusive --- it may not even bother you enough to have to take it out!)

No. There is a sticky layer on the backside of the screen protector that keeps it in place.

I really don't think there's a "built in" screen protector. All I know is the clear plastic thing that comes with the iPad case is a screen protector. If u just buy a iPad with no case on &I; you drop it on its screen it's probably going to break. Yes the plastic thing is removeabal but you have to take the whole case off for that�

Yes, it is quite easy to remove. Just stick on a piece of tape to the surface and pull upwards. The screen protector would get lifted up easily.

They will stick out. You would have to punch holes in protectors. Not a good idea.
