I wouldn't, my wife had one from new and the screen protector got ugly quickly.
The moment that Samsung offered the 1 free replacement she sent it off and traded it at CEX as soon as it was returned.
I second this. I had the Original Fold and while it was nice to use and the perfect phone for me, my sweat was too aggressive for the fragile topmost plastic film. I ended up with rubbing marks left and right from doomscrolling at my old job.
Stupid question: why didn't you remove the plastic film?
It’s certainly not a stupid question!
You see, Samsung “pre-installed” a plastic screen protector for us. However, if you removed this screen protector, it would totally destroy the screen. It would just turn black and stop responding. So they built a plastic lip around the phone to “hide” the plastic film. Removal of said film still would destroy the phone.
