Would replacing the built-in screen protector with a glass protector be successful? I.e. Would detaching the built-in protector would hurt fit?

It would probably not hurt the protector, however I'm sure you could not use the touch screen of your Ipad. This one works perfectly, there is not reason to need or want glass.

No it wouldn't hurt the fit at all.. just keep in mind that the ipad screen works with the heat of your fingers so I dont really know how it would work with a glass screen. and also keep in mind that it depends how thick is the glass..

I would say NO. I am skilled/handy man and my attempt to replace screen failed. further investigation has revealed some tech experts have also failed. Mt suggestion, see U tube then send pay a repair shop.

Hi Destiny!Yes it could but the replacement is not easy. Take a look to some of the videos in Internet to see what it implies (e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH3x39uhoZ8&feature;=em-share_video_user). Myself I tried and wasn't that successful. At the end I bought the full screen which is more expensive but "easier" to replace.

I'm sure it would help prevent further damage, but the cracks may cause air bubbles to appear on the screen, which would be likely to occur with any screen protector. I apologize for answering this question so late!

Mine shattered and luckily the original screen was perfect! We used a razor blade and gently scraped it off. It was easy.

Noops, it did not hurt my screen protector in any way. Also, in your previous experience, is there any chance its an ill-fitting screen protector? I would not think tht a case should even be able to mess with a screen protector.

You can remove the built in screen protector, it leaves a small space but I used a .4mm thick glass screen protector and modified the plastic under the home button on the case and it worked perfectly.

I removed mine about 3 times to get it perfectly adjusted (I trapped a couple dust particles under the screen protector) ... It worked perfectly all three times. Just try not to get finger oils on the "adhesive" side and it seems you can do it multiple times.

Replacing the glass really does take a heat gun. Being overly cautious, I used a hair dryer on a low setting and this took forever. Patience is the key to separate the glass from the video panel. Obviously, I didn't have patience this day so I ended up breaking the panel as well (thankfully I had insurance). There are video's on YouTube that explain the whole process. Can it be done - YES! Is lots of patience required - YES! If the screen in my replacement phone goes again, I have a little more confidence to do this once more.

Not sure if possible without issues conflicting w/ screen protector underneath... Would expect there to be problems with the touch screen losing responsiveness - why would you want both? Just switch to the anti-glare and be done w/ it!

It should work perfectly wth the screen protector. However, since you might be putting it on and removing it if you are to use it repeatedly, the top section of the screen protector might wear out quicker than usual.

I too have a glass screen protector and have had no issues whatsoever. It fits great even with the glass protector. Youll love that it doesnt slip or slide on slick surfaces and you can fit 3-5 business cards, an ID and a credit card. I dont even have to take my ID out to swipe into the garage or my office doors.

I would suggest the Skinomi Tech Armor glass. I dropped my galaxy s5 on the cement a few days ago and noticed cracks on what appeared to be the screen. I was bummed out. when I got up the next day I peeled off the protector and it was just the protector that was cracked, not my screen. I just ordered another one. :)

Hey I had the same thing happen to me, I had just taken off the rubber protective backing to clean it, and it slipped out of my wet hands (cleaner) and onto hard (practically stone) floor! It shattered mostly at the top.. but it still works perfectly , the camera, mic etc.. all good,! I only bought it 3 months ago, for over 200 bucks, and an apple rep said it would cost over 100 dollars to replace screen~ ! Insane!! I am looking and hopefully have found a clip on set with a hard rubberized clear front, and backing, that will protect it, and hopefully keep it from getting worse! The regular screen protectors will not go on do to "bumpy texture" .... Your post did not say if yours is still working or not, but if it is,, I will let you know if it works.. and you let me know if you get anything out of your warranty. Deal? I hope so! Thanks Kimmy

Maybe, it is more like a shatter resistant glass. It's amazing, I've broken 2 of them w/o crackling my screen. The adhesive backing didn't separate it stayed together but was broken. You might be able to pull it off. Good luck.

I believe you mail the old screen protector back to them and pay shipping for the replacement. I don't have the paperwork handy at the moment though, so I can't say for sure.

I don't know about the glass screen protector but slides in out of my pockets no problem. Very tough as well...first hand knowledge.
