Default Removing the protection film on the back is necessary?

I noticed there are some protection films on the back of the unit. I'm curious it will remain any sticky material if using the tablet without removing these films?

Ditto. I may remove the rest though, as the feel over time when it gets warm, is weird.

yeah i can't stand leaving those things on, must peel! but if you are unsure about whether or not you are keeping the tab, might be good to keep em on until decided. doesn't hurt.

I peeled those off as soon as it came out of the box, installed a Skimoni carbon fiber wrap on mine, looks and feels great.

i think you should remove it. I dont if its true but technically the back cover is made of aluminium and it's there for keeping the internal hardware cool. Maybe it works like a passive heatsink. Because my tab gets pretty hot i mean it is runs hotter than my skyrocket. When i watch a video on skyrocket i get about 32-35c but tab 2 can go up to 39-40c..
