It took a hour but I removed it. With a flat Stanley knife. After that with nail cleaner I removed the glue. Now I have clear glass with not finger stains.

The screen protector is a thin plastic sheet so it will eventually scratch, or the oleophobic layer will wear off and it'll look like crap + fingerprints galore.

Because the plastic scratch very easy and leaf finger prints behind + it does clean easy. I love the feeling of glass. Not one scratch is left behind.
Don't recommend it to any one because its a lot of work and your phone looks terrible with all the glue left behind.

You can press hard. Glass is very strong. You have to rub strong and use a cotton cloth.
how about i will not take it out but put another one on TOP? taking it out will take off the SONY LOGO right?

Sure, you can do that, but you'll have to re-calibrate the proximity sensor (the one that turns your screen of when you're talking into it). You can do that by open the dialer and dial *#*#7378423#*#* and then tap "Calibrations" and then "Proximity sensor". And yes, you'll lose the Sony logo. The logos on the back won't come off if you remove that one though.
really? we can take out the backas well? i thought just the frontside...
so in your opinion.it is ok too put another one on the front?

Yes, there's a plastic sheet on the back too, and it's much easier to get off, or so I've read. And yes, you can use a second screen protector on the front. You may have to recalibrate the proximity sensor though - as I mentioned in my previous post. You can easily check this by making a call after you've added the screen protector and see if the screen turns off when you lift it up to your head.

I was thinking this same thing. I suspect you wouldn't have to rip it completely apart to do it: just down to the point where you get to the screws that hold the board with the LCD screen into the case. Loosen those 6 screws (wouldn't even have to take them out all the way) and then push the closest corner a little to realign and tighten. I suspect there's enough play to correct the alignment problem at least so that it would be better. Wouldn't have to move it but a fraction of a millimeter. Worth a try, and I'm hoping that you could just loosen the first few screws to do it and you wouldn't have to do all the unplugging, etc.

Hey guys-
I am in progress of painting my extended battery setup (door+case) white. If I end up liking it, I will be painting the hard plastic part of my otterbox commuter white. I have chosen to use White Plasti Dip paint. This creates a plasticy spray that flexes, bends, and is durable. It won't crack and I can peel it off if I decide I don't like it white anymore. It is also pretty grippy. The can came to $9.11 w/ tax. They also offer this paint in red and black as well as a clear gloss. I will post pics of my other stuff as it dries/I paint it. But it took 5 coats to get the door looking nice so it takes awhile.
Pics of my progress:

That is the stuff. Stencil designs would be hard. Unlike regular spray paint, you MUST peel any tape off before it dries. So you would have to do a coat, pull the tape off, retape, recoat, etc. This is because it would peel up the plastidip when you pulled the tape off.

My phone seem to have unfortunately picked up some small scratches around the lens, mainly in the black border but nothing in the middle. Will that effect its performance?

Judge for yourself. Here's a picture with my scratched up lens cover:

}
And here it is without the lens cover:
Yes it will. [Edit] it could. A scratch will [Edit] could distribute light through the lens in an improper way if on the outer part of it. Instead of light going directly into the lens it will do that and come through it in a sideways like action. Making the picture look washed out. As seen in the picture above.
I do wish we had a way to cover the lenses until we are ready to snap pictures. Like some manual slide apparatus. Or even one that opens when the camera app is activated. Would be kind of cool.
But, I would say just keep your phone in a case and your pockets as clean and clear as possible.
And like my wife had found out the hard way, do not leave the phone unprotected at the beach. Put it in a ziplock bag or something of that nature. Any way, just my 2¢ for the day.

The big problem with cases is that many of them seem to cause a problem with the volume rocker in the s3. Are you sure about the reduction in quality, I don't think the black border around the lens captures any light, and I haven't noticed anything.

Exactly. "the scratch may make a difference" . It won't always make a difference. It all depends on the depth and angle of the scratch. And how light is hitting it.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
My pic above is with a lens cover that doesn't have any deep scratches at all, just a lot of very little ones, making the lens cover essentially matte, scattering the light, which results in that blurry pic
I have just taken some tests seconds ago against another device and they seems to be nothing wrong. So, I guess this problem is finished.

I actually made a research about this issue and all expert photographers say the same thing: a scratch in the front element won't effect your photo quality in a noticeable manner. So I think your problem is bigger, probably inside the camera unit. I'm no expert so ask someone else.

I'm sorry but as a hobbiest photographer, I would disagree with this. That's why we have lens caps.
A scratch on the lens or anything transparent that covers the lens can very easily and drastically reduce photo quality. The images on page 1 of this thread show that.
Photos are taken by passing light through the lens. Scratches disturb the light

Sure? I have checked the Internet and all I read was that scratches don't do much.
Here is some links:

Yes I'm sure. They're talking about a single or a couple of minor scratches. And the first article actually does say they DO affect the quality (although not as much as some people might think). And again, I refer you to the images that show the affect of scratches on the S3.

Since I got the scratch on my lens in certain light conditions(especially direct sunlight) it creates an annoying blurry lens flare. If I tilt my camera horizontally or vertically the blurriness stays in the same position. I'm sure it's the scratch...

Its worth noting that on the s3 the lens isn't exposed. Its underneath a glass cover

Is there a way to replace the lens cover incase of a damaged one ? Like Officially through the service centre or by some other way ?
