Inner screen cracks

[nathanw0810]

Has anybody had issues with the plastic protector on the inner screen developing cracks up the fold.

Noticed a couple the past few weeks with more emerging.

Hi,
It's possible air under the plastic cover and as screen gets warm with usage causes it to bubble

Mine is OK @nathanw0810

However if and when my tpu screen protector starts to fail on my Fold 3 which some can do on all models of phone, I plan to peel mine off and replace it with a Whitestone Dome Glass Screen protector.

Film type protectors are available too.

This is the one on the inner screen which I believe should not be removed.

Thanks for this.
This is the inner screen and I believe you should not remove it at all.

Hi @nathanw0810 

The inner screen protector can be removed on the Fold ³ which will not invalidate the 24 month manufacturers warranty.

The crux is that it has to be peeled away carefully as causing damage can invalidate the warranty. It's removed the same way as removing any factory fitted plastic tpu screen protector.

Just to confirm then this film just functions as a screen protector and the splits won't affect the actual screen.
