No free screen protectors on U.S.A. S21 devices

My global, Exynos, S21 came with an in-transit tpu type cover with a tab at the top right. When this is removed it revealed a very nicely fitted, almost invisible, plastic screen protector underneath. So well fitted and all encompassing is this screen protector that I was not aware of it until I did a very close inspection and rubbed my finger over the front camera and detected the cut out for it.

However, reports are coming in that this screen protector is missing from the U.S. minority variants for some unknown reason.

So, good news for the global owners but if you decide for whatever reason, to fit your own screen protector, you will first need to remove the built-in one.
