Plastic Screen Protector Falls off

I have a Late 2009 MB Pro 17 and it has been beautiful. BUT about two months in the plastic screen cover started coming off of the bottom of the screen. No I would think the heat from the fans is warming the glue and it is separating. Now when I have it on for about 20 min and close the lid the entire thing falls off. Anyone else having this problem.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you have a late 2009 MBP, then it is under warranty, and you can get this fixed under warranty. Contact Apple about arranging for a repair. This is likely a manufacturing defect of some sort. The plastic should not be coming off.
Good luck!

  • Plastic screen protector necessary?

    Is the plastic screen protector 100% necessary on the iPhone screen? I have one on but it has spots all over it when there is a glare from light. I want to keep my screen safe, but I don't want to have a dirty screen. What are some good options? Thanks!

    I have a non glare screen that I like-However I offer the following true story. While at an Apple retail store I asked an employee "did I really need a glass protector". His response: He asked if I had a set of car keys, I did and he asked if he could use them. He then grabbed a new i-phone off the counter and proceeded to scrape the pointed end of the keys repeatedly against the unprotected i-phone screen. He then calmly wiped the screen with a polish cloth and invited me to examine it for scratches. Honestly I could not find a scratch and was surprised. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS AN INVITATION TO TRY THIS ON YOUR I-PHONE OR ANY I-PHONE. I would however suggest that anything other than a non-glare cover MAY be a waste of money.

  • I can't get the plastic screen protector to stick. What am I doing wrong?

    I bought the accessory kit with my new iPhone 4S yesterday. It contains four clear plastic screen protectors. I tried to put one on following the very minimal instructions "Remove this mask before application completed," and "Remove this mask after application completed." When I remove the "second mask" it appears the protector did not stick to the phone but seems to still be part of the second mask I removed. Are the little red broken lines supposed to remain on the phone? Am I supposed to wet it or something?

    Maybe you did it opposite from the instructions? I'm not sure as I don't have the kit. I would check youtube for a video....it's a great resource for specific things like this. good luck!

  • Screen Protector Peeling Off

    When I received the Z1
    I peeled off the first Screen Prortector and installed the one supplied with the phone.
    After about a week of use I noticed that the Scrren Protector was peeling off.
    So I started to peel off the Screen Protector to replace it with a new one.
    It seemed thicker then usual.
    When I removed the Screen Protector I noticed it had a Sony Logo on it.
    Not the screen of my phone doesn't have the Sony Logo on it.
    Is this normal?
    If its not is it covered under the warranty?
    Cheers

    you are or were not supposed to remove the screen protector as this is the ASF (Anti Shatter Film) 
    it seems that if you remove this it voids your screen's warranty, contact your local Sony repair center

  • My screen is falling off of my ipod 8gb 4th generation

    i have only had my ipod for 5month and the glass is falling off the back of ipod

    If not abused (e.g., dropped), Apple will replace the iPod at not cost under your warranty. Otherwise you will have to pay $99. $149 or $199 depending upn the capacity for a replacment iPod.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store,.

  • IPad plastic screen protector

    Has anyone used this and found it worthwhile?  Is it worth the $15 they charge?  (Or are the $2-knockoffs online good enough?)

    I have never used either of my iPads without a screen protector of some type. On myniPad one - I used the ZAGG Invisible Shield - $29,95 + tax as I recall. On my new iPad, I use an Otterbox Defender case with a built in screen protector.
    To me - it is an investment worth making. But that's just my take. Many users don't utilize screen protectors and are very happy going that route,
    Bot the ZAGG protector and the Ottebrbox have kept my iPad screens in mint condition. Not a scratch on either screen. However, only you can decide what is best for your needs.

  • Is anyone else's screen literally falling off?

    My screen is falling from the top left corner. I think whatever glue that was holding it together has lost it adhesive.

    So bring it to an Apple store or AASP and have them fix it.

  • Can anyone recommend a glass or plastic screen protector that fits a Speck Candy Shell case?

    Hi. Does anyone know if a glass screen protector will be too thick to fit the Candy Shell case? I really don't like the film options. I specifically want to get the Sir Lancelot's Armour glass protector.

    Ive seen and played with most all the zippered strapped cases, and most all of them are awful.
    it still ended up back at the Incase strapped case, very thin, but very well padded, well made and the perfect all around choice.
    id recommend getting a like new used one for $25 on ebay rather than $60 new.  But as you wish.
    like this :

    $20 , Incase used like new , perfect choice.
    same case new is $60

  • Help! My screen is falling off!

    Hi. I almost died today when I lifted my lid up and noticed that the screen wasn't attached to the unibody! I'm wondering if anyone can help me, I got my MacBook just over a year ago now and have had the screen replaced (by an Apple Certified place) because of a crack. I'm wondering if this could be the result of a dodgy job? I don't know what to do, and I need my computer for uni. I believe I did buy an extended warrenty for it from the place that I got it from, will this still be covered now that I've had repairs done to it?

    If you used an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) your extended AppleCare warranty (provided you have one) would cover it.  It's an unusual problem, so I would expect the screen repair you had may be the cause. 

  • Ideapad U410 screen LITERALLY falling off.

    Hi Everyone:
    I flipped open my lid on my laptop today. Then the bottom left corner (where the U410 is printed) popped open. I can look between the screen and the square, seeing screws and strips and things like that.
    I managed to press it back in, but now there's a weird clicking sound when I move my screen and it pops back open every once in awhile. Does anyone have an idea how to fix it? I'm hesitant as to take it apart myself (without specific help) as there is a sticker that says DO NOT TOUCH under the "Lenovo".
    Thank you!

  • What's the best screen protector?

    Any suggestions out there as to the best screen protector?

    LOLOLOL!
    OK. Let me try AGAIN.
    I have no special ownership of the truth and may be wrong about this. However, I'm simply sharing my opinion that everything I've seen and read suggests that plastic screen protectors for the iPhone are a racket.
    For one, you are putting something on a beautiful screen that makes it less beautiful. And why are you doing this? Presumably to protect it. The equation is make it less beautiful for the sake of added protection to keep it more beautiful but for when? For those brief moments when you take one protector off and put on another? But the protectors themselves are universally weaker than the screen itself so I wonder how protective they really are. How much is the compromised surface worth the "protection" (not to mention cost)? The screen is hard glass, the protectors are weak plastic. The end result is you have an iPhone with a scratchable plastic protector on it that makes it uglier instead of a clean flat hard beautiful glass surface.
    It just makes no sense to me. Except that coming from a tradition of plastic screens on previous devices, perhaps there is a "legacy urge" to get a screen protector. Or maybe people just like putting plastic sheets on their glass iPhone.
    Here's my experience. I have an iPhone and no plastic screen protector. I don't dote over the iPhone. I fling it around and stick it into various pockets. It has no scratches. I also enjoy the naked glass screen with no oogy plastic covering like grandma's slipcover over her couch that makes your thighs squeak whenever you sit on it.
    If after years of use I get a scratch on the glass screen, that's less bad than years of plastic protectors and years of scratched use because the plastic protectors will of course get scratched multiple times. They're plastic.
    At the same time, figure in an aggressive third party market that exploits opportunities to sell accessories - needed and un-needed. So if you discount the marketing and "legacy urge," why do I need this thing???
    The Crystal Support screen protector is great...and it's fairly cheap as well. Unlike others that "get off" on trying to beat people down with their opinions...I'll simple tell you that it works for me. You might like to try it...then again...what do I know? I'm not gunna shove what works for me down your throat like others on this board.

    If that makes you happy, great! I'm not shoving my opinion down anyone's throat, only sharing an opinion that may differ from yours. Let's say, for example, the question was "now that I've gotten an iphone, what kind of instant mashed potatoes should I smear all over it to protect it?" I would have the same response. I just don't get the appeal, although maybe there are people out there who feel more comfortable smearing instant mashed potatoes all over their phones.
    The "Emperor's wearing no clothes" was only one person's opinion too, you know...

  • Apple nano tube + zcover screen protector

    I just received my nano tube in the mail (purchased from a guy who was selling his extras), and I have to say that I like it better than the zcover case. The click wheel area is thinner and allows manipulation by touch (very useful for me in the car not to have to determine where the clickwheel is), and doesn't seem to be as lint-attracting as the zcover case (mine was grey; others have said that the lighter colors don't attract as much lint).
    What worked nicely, though, was taking the plastic screen protector that zcover provided and using it with the apple nano tube. It fits very nicely, and solves the screen protection problem!

    I took mine off after I opened and got it going. It probably would have been a better idea to keep it on, but, like you, not a scratch on my nano!

  • Screen Protector Recommendation

    Hello everyone,
    I at one time considered a tempered glass screen protector for my Z1 but I was scared away by the possibility of the ASF coming up with the glass screen protector if I ever removed it. I am considering now a plastic screen protector for the front and back. I would rather not have to install a screen protector but the ASF has been scratching too easily with me no matter how careful I am. Does anyone have a recommendation as to a good quality plastic screen protector set for the front and back of the Z1? 

    Hi,
    I would recommend Copter Screenprotector. I've been using it for my devices and i'm satisfied with it.

  • Plastic Non-sticky Screen protector.

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I used to have a case that came with a thick sheet of bendable plastic that I could slide in and out with the case as a screen protector. I have since ordered the same case "Griffin Elan form Case with EasyDock for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black)" and it no longer comes with the removable/slide able non-sticky screen protector. It came with a regular peel off and install screen.
    Does anyone know where I can get my old screen protector? Please! I've been searching everywhere!

    Mine doesn't feel sticky, of course it's been on for a year and a half or so.
    I can suggest giving it a few days or so, see if you can get used to it.
