Using plastic film that came w/iphone as screen protector

I have been using the plastic film that was on the iphone screen in the box as a screen protector. Everything works the same with it on as off. I just cut the tab on the bottom off. The only problem is it covers the earhole and I just use my headphones or speaker on calls.

It's purely preference whether or not to use a protector, but here is a link to some testing that PC World did that you may find interesting:

  • Can anyone help me plz.  My ipad will not charge.  I am using the cords that came with it and it still wont charge

    Can anyone please help me.  I have had my ipad2 for about 5 months and it has worked fine.  I am now having issues charging it.  I am using the cords that came with it and the outlet that I have used to charge it in the past, but when plugged in it is recconoigzed, but states not charging.  I have made sure all my updates are current and they are.  Does anyone have any suggestions or helful advice that my help.  Thanks in advance.

    Are you plugging it into a pc? If so it will not charge the iPad as there is not enough power try the back USB ports, may work.
    If it isn't plugged into a pc and plugged into your socket could be faulty socket adapter.

    Hi @nirmal007,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forum!  I understand you're having cartridge issues with your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 5525 e-All-in-One Printer.  I would like to assist you with clearing up that error state and have some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue. 
    I recommend you try the following steps before you consider purchasing a new black ink cartridge.  Firstly after you've confirmed that your ink levels are not the problem (example - the level is above 10%), try a 'hard reset':
    Secondly:
    Make sure that the ink cartridges are properly vented and seated correctly
    If the vent on the top of the ink cartridge is clogged or obstructed, the ink cartridge might not work properly. Follow these steps to make sure that the ink cartridges are properly vented and seated correctly.
    Press the Power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already turned on. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before continuing.
    Open the cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the access area.
    Figure : Open the cartridge access door
    Press the tab on the front of the cartridge inward to release it, and then pull up on the cartridge to remove it from the slot.
    Figure : Remove the cartridge from the slot
    Examine the vent area on each cartridge, above the HP logo on the top of the cartridge.
    Figure : Vent area on the top of the cartridge
    If the cartridge still has the orange pull-tab attached, pull to remove it.
    Figure : Orange pull tab
    If the vent is clogged, use a straight pin to gently remove excess adhesive from the vent.
    Figure : Clean the clogged vent with a pin

    With a straight pin, gently remove excess adhesive from the vent

    With the nozzle and contacts facing down, slide the cartridge into its slot. Press down on the cartridge until it clicks into place.
     note:Make sure that each cartridge is installed in the correct slot. Match the shape of the icon and the color of the cartridge with the slot that has the same shaped icon and color.
    Figure : Reinsert the cartridge
    Repeat these steps to inspect the vents on each of the cartridges.
    Make sure that each cartridge is firmly in place in its slot. Run your finger along the top of the cartridges to feel for any that are protruding, and if any are, press down firmly until each cartridge snaps into place.
    Close the cartridge access door.

    Thirdly, try cleaning your cartridge contacts:
    Manually cleaning the print cartridge contacts
    Follow the steps below to manually clean the print cartridge contacts:
    Gather the following items to clean the contacts:
    Distilled water (tap water may contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridge)
    Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge
    Open the print cartridge door.
    Remove the print cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the ink nozzle plate facing up.
     caution:
    Do not to touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzle plate with your fingersFigure : Do not touch copper-colored contacts
     caution:Do not leave the print cartridge outside the printer for more than 30 minutes. Ink nozzles exposed to the air longer than this may dry out and cause printing problems.
    Lightly moisten a cotton swab with distilled water and squeeze any excess water from the swab.
    Gently wipe the copper-colored contacts with the cotton swab.
     caution:Do not touch the ink nozzle plate. Touching the ink nozzle plate will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until no ink residue or dust appears on a clean swab.
    Insert the print cartridge in the printer, and then close the print cartridge door.
    Source
    If you've tried all of the above noted steps and you're still unable to use the black cartridge, you may need to pick up a new one.  Let me know if this helps.  Best of luck!

  • Plastic piece that came w/ipod

    I got a plastic piece that came with my ipod that looks like it fits on the bottom b/c there is a hole about the size of the port on the bottom of the ipod. Anyone know what this piece is for?

    It is an adapter for the iPod Universal Dock to make it fit your specific iPod.

    I bought a used macbook pro that came with xcode, this means I can develop Apps but to publish in App Store needed pay developer fees? Or must pay these fees from now?

    All you have are the basic tools. Without a paid program in your name, you cannot distribute apps to the store.

  • What is the Best iPhone 5 Screen Protector?

    What is the Best iPhone 5 Screen Protector? Anyone have any recommendations?

    I've used no less than 10 different types of iPhone screen protectors. Most are either difficult to put on (Zagg, invisible shield, etc.) or just plain suck (too thick, bubbles, folds, etc.). The HD are the best covers out there. They are very easy to apply bubble free. They also stay on once applied. Others that go on easy often fold up when a case is applied. This one does not. I use a Speck case which curled the other easy apply protectors but did not curl this one. Great product!

  • Do i need iPhone 4s screen protector

    do i need iPhone 4s screen protector ?

    You do not need to run iPhoto, when you have Aperture, but if you want to open older iPhoto libraries in Aperture, they will have to be upgraded by iPhoto to the latest version, so that Aperture can open them.
    I'd keep iPhoto installed for several reasons - it is really useful as a second browser for your Photo Libraries, see my User Tip here:                   Keep iPhoto - It May Come in Handy!

    Your iPhone is locked to the original carrier who sold it

  • Does Apple sell the plastic film that comes with the iPhone when you first open it?

    You know when you first buy an Apple product like the iPhone 4 or 4S it has those two pieces of protective film covering it? I want to buy those exact ones I like the way they look, I dont want any other suggestions, I want those same exact ones. Does anyone know where to get those or how I would be able to contact Apple to ask where I would be able to purchase those? Please let me know asap. Thank you very much.

    Those are not screen protectors. Furthermore, they cover the speaker and camera so you wouldn't be able to take a picture very well or hear anything, as they are not designed to be used as screen protectors.

  • HT1688 I am trying to find answers about how to use the earphones that came with my new iPhone 4s. Does this work similarly as a Bluetooth or do I need to still buy one. The printing in the manual is SOOO small, it is too hard to read!

    Does anyone know how to use the earphones( plugs) that come with iPhones?
    Mine is still fairly new and I am just learning how to use certain things.

    They're pretty straightforward. You plug them into the headset jack (the hole on the top left of your phone). You put the buds in your ears. All sounds, except for the phone ringing will now come through the earbuds.

  • "charging is not supported" when using the cable that came with ipod

    I get an error message that "charging is not supported" when plugged in using the only cable that came with my ipod touch. My ipod will charge for 5 minutes then when I check on it, I notice this error on screen and the ipod has stopped charging.  I'm using the same charging method I have always used since I owned this ipod which has been over 2 years now and this only started happening recently. I believe this started when I upgraded to 5.0.1.

    - Look at both partsof the 30 pin dock connector.  Log for bent. mising or corroded contacts of orther abnormalities. The cable could be bad.  Try a new one.
    - Try a reset. Nothings is lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
