Been meaning to take off the screen protector on this BLU Win Jr and apply the replacement one that it came with for a few months now. When I used to use the gel case with it, the case kind of removed the screen protector on the edges where you would grip the phone as it would push against the protector. It didn't look clean after that.
I took the screen protector off and don't plan on putting the replacement one back on just yet. The bare screen resists fingerprints better and doesn't have that rainbow colour oil fingerprint when there are some.
I paid $50 for this phone over 6 months ago and it still works great. Definitely got my moneys worth, but I may be upgrading soon to another BLU device with Android 5.0 and a better camera under $200. Thinking of the BLU Studio X.

I've been using the BLU Win Jr. on the Bell Mobility network in Canada for the past 2 weeks. The data and picture messaging / MMS didn't work at first until I put in their APN settings.

Day 6 - BLU Win Jr. 3 Columns x Haptic Feedback Vibration
I've read online that the new 3 column tile format option for Windows Phone 8.1 would only be available for higher resolution screens. So it was a welcome surprise that it works here but with some drawbacks.

Day 4 - BLU Win Jr. Syncing Problem x QR Code Scanner
I had a slight hiccup syncing the phone to my Windows 7 computer at first. I kept getting the dreaded "MTB USB Device" failed driver install error.
