Has anyone removed the screen protector from Otterbox?

I have the Otterbox on top of Apple's anti-glare screen protector as suggested in this forum. I'm having way too much trouble getting a response out of buttons on the edge of the screen or in the corners. I touch and touch, even press hard but no response. Even getting the phone to snap a picture is near impossible. I have no problems when I remove the Otterbox case, so I know it isn't a screen issue. I love the feel and protection afforded by the Otterbox case and would like to use it. Has anyone removed the screen protector from their case, and if you have, can you comment on the subsequent performance of it? Of note, I use the Otterbox case because I have young kids who use the phone - we don't have a landline. In other words, it's not dust protection I'm looking for, but impact protection. I hate to tear up a $50 case if it won't function anymore.

I removed the screen protector that was part of the Otterbox case and it now works much better. Still have the Power Support anti-glare screen protector on it. Also removed the small cover over the camera lense and now my pictures are more clear. Finally, I removed the covers over the speakers and I can hear the speakerphone again. These mods made the case an A+ for me. A little less protection but much better functionality.

    Are they removable and how?
    Thanks ... Ken

    I want to use an AirDesk and need better grip so the MBP will not slip.
    Also the height is greater for better air flow.

  • Has anyone resolved the whirring sound from the Macbook late 2008 Optical Drive Self-diagnostic yet?

    Has anyone resolved the whirring sound from the Macbook late 2008 Optical Drive Self-diagnostic yet?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If the hard drive does not appear in the DU sidebar list then it has died and will have to be replaced. No need to proceed beyond this point.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Has anyone removed the stand from the monitor?

    I love my 30" Cinema Display, but it sits too high on my desk, and find myself tilting my head up to see towards the top of the screen. I hate the thought of modifying the work of art that it is, but if I removed the stand, it would sit perfectly at eye-level. Obviously, I would have to make a stand/support to allow it to be free-standing. Either that or modify the desk itself. Has anyone tried removing the stand from the monitor? Feedback?

    As NullUnit mentioned, it is quite easy to remove the stand but you will need the VESA adapter kit to replace it. This will give you the standard 100mm VESA mounting holes that you would then connect to any mounting arm you wish.
    Personally I bought this MX Desk Mount Arm as it was rated to hold the weight of the display (~30#) whereas others were not (~18#). I originally mounted the display in a vertical/portrait orientation but the arm didn't go high enough so I had to mount a 6" block of wood to my desk first. I enjoyed the monitor so much that I have since moved it to become my primary monitor. The arm allowed me to lower the display all the way to my desk so I could just look over it (to watch TV). Couldn't have if it was still on the stand.
    Hope this helps.

  • Has anyone used the Applesause Polish from Invisible Shield!

    Has anyone used that stuff?
    Does it work?
    What about on a 3G iPod?
    Thanks

    I bought it and I think it´s really good. I test it against a macbook pro 13" and I found it very similar in times, sometimes the Sonnet reader beat the built in reader, usually not but sometimes it did.
    It´s a little tricky to put the cards into the reader but I guess that becuse that way it´s harder to push the card out by mistake.
    I also love that it can live on my macbook pro becuse it fits perfectly, no need to put it on and off evertime I use it.
    But the one you are saying is not the one I bought, becuse it´s almost 50 usd the one I have

    I also bought the dual compac flash reader and I also love it, it´s extremly fast
    Sorry that I didn´t answer faster but I was working and I never get the advice that I had a message.

  • Has anyone got the screen flick problem solved?

    as above thanks.
    (i am starting to get irritated of the flicking screen)

    finally got my computer back with more problems than I sent it in with I think. They put in a new logic board, battery, and super drive. I no longer can see my serial number in the about this mac window. also, the battery is loose and sometimes the meter reads 0% and sometimes it will not turn on. I dont know what the deal is. The people that fixed it are in the middle of selling the store so I dont feel like deeling with them for a while until they get all moved. I might just call applecare in the morning or something. I hate this, I am having the worst luck with all my electronics lately.

  • Has anyone found the screen to be slightly "dipped"/concave in the middle?

    Hello,
    I've got a 32GB iPad, and I am very much enjoying it. One thing i've noticed is that the LCD screen underneath the glass digitizer seems to be ever so slightly dipped, or concave in the middle.
    It doesn't seem to cause any issues, but I was wondering if this was normal. When you look direct on at the iPad, you don't see it; only at an angle do you notice it.

    Yes I have the Ipad 64bit Next generation and quite unhappy the display is concave. Not just the OS but web browsing also.

  • Has anyone tried the GSP covers for MacBook Pro?

    I am about to buy a 15" MacBook Pro & 3G iPhone and want to protect my babies Has anyone bought the clear skin from the SGP store? Any reviews? They also have a keyboard cover that's half the price of the Moshi one and looks identical to me. The SGP store address: www.sgpstore.com

    Congrats !
    Here's some information from research done in the past few days. BEST Keyboard protection:
    Keyboard cover that is thin & fits the keys is called u-cover from a company called uniea. Also, youtube: "marware protection" or youtube: "macbook pro protection", you'll find the marware product which i liked, it covers the track pad and wrist area.
    There are many choices out there, I like to find the youtube reviews and/or thorough articles that review the product over several months of usage.

  • Has anyone felt the heat from their monitor?

    I have a Penryn 2.8 GHz 24" iMac and I park my face fairly close to the screen (about 12 inches (30.5 cm) and I can feel the heat of the screen.
    I took temperature readings with a lab thermometer on 9 points distributed on a grid across the screen and it averages about 103 degrees F(39.4 C), ranging from 101 F (38.3 C) to 107 F (41.6 C). These measurements were taken while the computer was idle with just the screen saver running and the brightness at maximum.
    Has anyone felt the heat of their screen like this? Has anyone ever tried to measure it?
    Where does all the heat come from, is it all derived from the backlight or from the computer itself (107 is from the upper left and the 101 is from the lower right)?

    You might be interested in running SMCFanCOntrol to keep your temps down. I'd recommend keeping the HD under 50C and the Power Supply under 60C.

  • Has anyone tried the Zeiss Screen Eraser on their iphone 5?

    Carl Zeiss company is known for fine optical gear.  When I tried locally to find a flat-weave microfiber cloth for cleaning my iPhone 5, all I could find was a kit with the cloth and a Zeiss Screen Eraser, made for cleaning LCD screens and touch screens.  The Zeiss Screen Eraser contains a soft sponge moistened with a solution that does not contain alcohol or ammonia.  The pictures on the package show what looks like a Kindle or iPad, a Blackberry-type phone, and a laptop.  So far I have resisted trying it on the oleophobic screen of My iPhone 5, using only the microfiber cloth, which by the way is high quality, which you would expect from Zeiss.  I would very much love for Apple to test the Zeiss Screen Eraser and see whether it is safe to use on iPhone screens.  In the meantime, has anyone in the community been brave or foolish enough to test it themselves?  Thank you.

    Here's what Apple recommends:
