I usually dont remove the plastic that comes witn any equipment some times for years. But when I got the phone the salesman took it out the box to show me how the applicattions works and he took the plastic that comes on the phone screen. That would it saved me $12.00 on this Anti-glare Screen Proctector.T-Mobile HTC HD2 ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen Protector (Single Pack) is good although I think is too expensive for just a single pack.
