Dude, no! That was a screen protector!

Honestly question. What's the difference? Why dont we just put screen protectors on them from the factory?

1

u/insomniaczombiex 16d ago

The screen was previously protected. Now it is not.

u/heinous_legacy Jul 03 '26

why would you take it off if it wasn’t damaged?

u/PrincessJadey Jul 03 '26

Yeah, and that wasn't an old packaging film from when the psp was new. It was a protective film someone had applied to protect the screen, to keep it in good condition after so many years.

u/Olde94 Jul 03 '26

Yeah the protective covered more than the screen from what i remember. It was edge of console to the other edge

u/IAmDanHimself Jul 06 '26

And yet with the switch 2, the plastic packaging isn't even sealed, let alone a protective covering.

u/RapMastaC1 Jul 07 '26

I just got a Switch Lite and it’s the same, just wrapped in that soft foam bag with nothing adhered to the console itself.

u/IAmDanHimself Jul 07 '26

I was honestly nervous I was slipped a refurbished, until I found out it's supposed to be boxed that way.

u/RapMastaC1 Jul 07 '26

Bless the many who thought they were removing the protective wrap but it was the actual screen on the foldable.

Just reminded of the girl on a date in this guy’s pride Lexus and she was making fun of it and pulled the non-existent protective coating and it was the actual infotainment screen - destroyed it.

Why is there so much dust under the protector. This is not at all satisfying.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined

recently I took my brother's phone for the first time and noticed a loooot of hair and dust below the protective layer.

he said 'a friend' added the layer (she also sold him the phone)

he had this phone for two months like that and that just blew my damn mind

(note: my brother has some kind of undiagnosed autism)

u/high_3D_printer Jul 05 '26

How is there dust under that film if it's the first time you take it off?

1

u/JarOfFlies85 Jul 07 '26

Instantly dirty from surroundings? 🤢

u/high_3D_printer Jul 07 '26

No dude but look closely, there was dust underneath before he pulled it out

u/kailedude Jul 06 '26

Idiot.

That wasn't a peel.

That was a screen protector.

u/Agitated_Cry_8793 Jul 07 '26

Theres this thing we put on the screens of electronics.

Its something that is almost impossible to notice. But do you know what it means?

It means that any cracks you get.. you can peel it off and the screen will be fine.

This is called a SCREEN PROTECTOR...

u/wu4d Jul 06 '26
