Pre installed screen protector on the OLED Switch

[RetroGlide08]

Have seen over on Reddit that some owners have reported a screen protector like film on the screen similar to that that was fitted on the first Galaxy Fold Phine and many have said not to remove it.
I haven’t got the OLED yet so can anyone confirm this?

Yes, it's there to stop the glass splintering everywhere should the screen break (as the screen is now glass).

Thanks for clearing that up. However, would fitting a glass screen protector be ok? Would peeling a broken screen protector off damage this film one underneath?

Yes, depends on your stance on screen protectors. I always use them. The pre installed one is to protect the user from the screen (should it break), not the screen from the user.

PSA: Don’t peel off the protective cover on your OLED Switch’s glass screen

You can still use a regular screen protector on top.
