Most cases seem to be due to users mistakenly removing the permanent screen protection layer. The company claims that the foldable screen has been tested for 200,000 folds -- i.e. about 5 years of rigorous use.
- bdz 8y agoCNBC reported that they never removed it but the screen still broke https://twitter.com/robotodd/status/1118585937712250880?s=21 https://twitter.com/robotodd/status/1118585937712250880?s=21
- mirimir 8y agoIf it's so easily removed, how is it "permanent"? Also, you'd think that there'd be a "DO NOT REMOVE THIS" warning on the packaging.
- continuational 8y agoIf it’s pernanent, why would it be removable?
- LeonM 8y agoIt's not removable, that's the point. If you try to remove it, you'll break the screen. See Marques Brownlee's pictures: https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/1118580472576118787 https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/1118580472576118787
- BillinghamJ 8y agoRight, but it _is_ removable. Easily. Removing it does cause damage sure, but then shouldn't it be very difficult to remove?
- rockyj 8y agoIf the protection layer is all that is "protecting" the screen, why make it removable. Or why not put a big warning label on it (or in the manual) when you unbox the phone. Just saying :)
- nvssj 8y agoThere was a big warning label on the screen, but reviewers didn't read it. Or, as I am starting to suspect, read it but wanted to break the screen to get retweets. https://twitter.com/iloveqatar/status/1118621965596745728 https://twitter.com/iloveqatar/status/1118621965596745728
- stordoff 8y agoFrom the replies: > You can rewatch my unboxing and @UnboxTherapy’s unboxing. Definitely not in our boxes - or any other review units for that matter. Nobody has verified where Des found this
- adrianhel 8y agoNo, place its edges underneath the cover so that it never seems removable.
- onion2k 8y agoMost cases seem to be due to users mistakenly removing the permanent screen protection layer. Let's not push blame on to the user. If the screen protection is so vital that the screen will fail within a day without it, then the problem is that the screen protection is removable and to easy to remove.

- hanniabu 8y agoMy phone won't work after I took the battery out. I can't image how they are allowed to produce such garbage. /s
- adrianhel 8y agoDoes you phone make it seem like your battery is an insignificant part of the product? Are you likely to play with the battery repeatedly until it comes off? Not comparable.
- euler_ 8y agoThe screen protector is an integral part of the screen. It's not that if fails later on without it, trying to remove it destroys the screen. It's like pulling the contacts out of a port and complaining that the phone won't charge.
- freehunter 8y agoThe point still stands. If the screen protector is so vital, it shouldn't be removable, shouldn't look removable, shouldn't be an option to try to remove it, and instructions should be clear to not attempt to remove it.
- magic_beans 8y agoThe screen protector should not be removable then.
- serpix 8y agoI wonder if they bothered to test it with some sand on it and in freezing conditions / variable conditions.
- chrischen 8y agoThis may be a case of cultural differences... a lot of Asian people like to leave those plastic protectors on!
- matt4077 8y agoI remember several US households with plastic cover over their couches. They didn’t even remove them for special occasions. It always struck me as extremely strange to effectively ruin a product only to be able to throw it away in somewhat better condition.
- magic_beans 8y agoMy grandmother did this, which always struck me as insane. Because it IS insane.
