Z Flip 7 - Factory Screen Protector

[Blear]

I received the Z Flip 7 last week.  This is my first Fold/Flip phone.  Upon unboxing, I mistook the factory screen protector for another piece of plastic that needed to be removed from the new phone.

The corner of the protector is now raised and it's only a matter of time before it starts to peel.

I have seen some posts about older Flip models, and how it is not recommended to remove the plastic but that it does not void the warranty.

Has anyone removed this screen protector and had any issues with the device?  Is there a way to get it professionally replaced locally?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Ubreakifix or other Samsung certified repair centers offer replacement. $20 and 10 minutes of your time last time I had it done.

Samsung also offers 1 free replacement within a year of purchase, but you'll need to make a claim to do so

Interesting.  And they replace it perfectly with no bubbles or dust or anything?

Thank you very much for this information!

I believe they have special equipment that ensures proper application. I would call around first to make sure your local shop offers z flip replacements. I had none in my area and had to drive a significant way.

You will need to go to a Ubreakit store, they will walk you through how to submit a claim.

They might not have them in stock yet, call in advance.
