Screen protector peeling

[Stewalker]

After already having my screen replaced once due to the screen protector bubbling down the middle and then causing the screen to fail.

The same thing is starting to happen again. It's starting to bubble along the screen fold from top and bottom. 

What are the implications of me removing the screen protector myself before it causes damage to the screen like last time? 

Will this void my warranty or void my care+ I have in place?

I really don't want to be with out the phone for 2 weeks again so am I clear to remove it and then try to reinstall my own protector?

Don't remove it if you want to maintain your warranty.

[Glenntech]

Apparently the screen protector being removed won't void the warranty. What will is if you damage the screen without it on.
Just be aware that removing it needs to be done with care
Personally I know it's a hassle, but I'd get it done professionally
I know @BandOfBrothers removed his, so I think it's been OK on that phone

[BandOfBrothers]

Yes mine delaminated along the crease on my Fold³ @Stewalker too.

It's straightforward to remove it.

Peel from the corner and slowly peel it away.

Removing the screen protector does not invalidate the warranty.

Samsung do say if the screen is somehow damaged in the act of removing the protector then the warranty would be voided.

Yes @Glenntech I did remove mine and the screen has been fine since with no detrimental affect.

[Stewalker]

I'm going to go for it tonight then see if I can find a decent replacement one. I'm just worried everytime I open it it goes further and last time that's how it cracked the screen

[BandOfBrothers]

I watched the screen protector gradually come away from crease on mine.

Whitestone Dome do / did an internal screen protector @Stewalker 

[Glenntech]

I hear the Whitestone Dome one is really good

That's the exact one I'm looking for. I want the one with the application kit. I have now removed the protector and the screen feels great

[BandOfBrothers]

I must admit the screen does feel nicer without that plastic screen protector but I can appreciate why Samsung applies one.

Yes the Whitestone Dome one does have an application kit which is shown on their website and YouTube but I have to say it does look fiddly @Stewalker
