hahahah
i was trying to figure out if that film was supposed to be removed or not when I first got the phone! I tweeted about it but nobody ever answered me and then I just forgot about it untill seeing this thread. When I tried to peel it off, It was not coming off as easily as the front and back plastic film did. So I was not sure if it was meant to be removed and so I kept it there.
Mine has streaks from the slider now...And I don't know what to do from here.

I might actually try and take it off again though because my droid has a tiny dead pixel, and I am going to get a new one from best buy anyway.

This post should be removed before someone else reads it and decides its a good idea to peel a piece of protective plastic that is specifically shaped to fit around pieces on the back of the Droid...

Decided to take the plunge and pull that thing off. Wow. In my case, it made the sliding action feel a hell of a lot better, smoother sliding and clicking. Glad I did it.

At first I thought that film was to protect the back of the phone from scratching due to the sliding action. But I removed it, and no scratches appear. I think it's meant to be removed.

this is a very controversial and highly polarizing topic.

This not the only phone that comes new with specific shape protective plastic and have seen this on the Env3. Yes it protective so you don't get a scratch phone from the MFG to you. If not taken off after so many uses it could jam up the slider.

Did you not notice the "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law" tag? (It was very tiny print) If someone knocks on your door, don't answer. It's probably the FBI.

WOW WOW how did we go from a phone thread to a one of a mattress thread

Any feedback for Motorola?

stating it meant to be removed.

I am so proud of all of us! This proves that the Droid was designed for techno geeks and we are all living up to the obsessive standards that is true geekhood! ;o)

I second that!

 

[xodustrance]

After removing, mine clicks into place when opened and closed.

Definitely recommend removing.

If it aint broke dont fix it! My slide action is the sturdiest of any phone I have ever used and it has no wiggle whatsoever. I will not be tampering with perfection. It clicks open and shut like it should already.

well you are obviously new to tech forums. When the G1 came out everyone was talking about how to shave off the extra "lip" and fix the squeak from the black ones.

Oh, yes, I know, I was a Rio Karma owner back in the day and that forum was very similar. And I follow AVS Forums for HD stuff and those guys geek out with the best of them!

I am just proud that we are keeping up that tradition!

This is ridiculous!
Stop obsessing about plastic wrap, and use that phone to ask out a girl already!

 

[shoresidejake]

Wow... I didn't realize the plastic on there. I was nervous at first, but once I started peeling it, I realized that it is infact meant to come off. Thanks for the heads up!

I wanna call , I really do, but I am afraid if she knows the plastic film is still on my Droid she will likely not answer the phone. Then I think what if she knows that I know she might know and then she's not gonna answer it anyways.... so its really not even worth taking it off or leaving it on if she is not gonna answer the phone anyways...

Maybe I'll start a poll....

 

[joneee]

I took it off and now my phone makes a tapping noise on the bottom and top left of the screen when closed and used in portrait! err...

 

[shotinthenads]

I took mine off and now it is talking to me.....
