Cleaned by you before applying the screen protector. They usually come with a finger towel soaked in alcohol. If there was grease (from your fingers) or a dust particle, the adhesive can’t adhere and there will be a bubble.
So you didn’t add a glass screen protector and this is the pre applied plastic film?

This is very weird.
Not the fact that there are bubbles underneath, but the fact that they appeared later.
At this point I am not sure if this one was intended to be kept. Which is weird because the film on top of this one clearly needs to be removed and has a pull tab as you would expect.

Exactly. This film is a temporary thing. Its aimed at being there until you decide to either buy a tempered glass add-on, either apply whatever custom gel, or decide to go without any protection.
In all those 3 scenarios, it would be peeled off anyhow at some point.

Is this with the privacy shield?
As I noticed that it needed pretty long pressing before bubbles was removed.

Guys, I have a request—could you please share some photos of the silicone cases, if possible? Some people have shown the phone with the orange silicone case, but it looks very pale and a bit unusual. I’m really curious to see the details of both the black and orange silicone cases, if possible.
Typo maybe? 
darktable user manual - color management and its subchapters have some useful information here, specifically: darktable user manual - darktable's color spaces
Just to be sure:
Make sure to install the other native appstores.
- StoreMan (OpenRepos)
- Chum GUI (Chum)
These have way more apps than only the Jolla store has. I am very sure it will still have shortcomings, but you will thousands of apps there.
You may find this useful (one of my older videos, but maybe still of use):
Best regards

Of course anyone who knows darktable well will know how to manage color spaces. But that was a side quest related to LUTs, not the main goal of getting nicer pictures from the camera.
If we got access to raw images, then darktable or another raw developer software could be a help in tuning the built-in ISP. So potentially a useful tool.

Very interesting read and I’m thinking my decision not to buy the JP might have been a little hasty now. The problem for me isn’t the hardware it’s the nonsensical political direction that the EU clowns are foisting on their own citizens. On the one hand they want to proclaim digital sovereignty from the US big tech’ giants, yet on the other they clearly don’t support FOSS beyond the desktop.
They don’t want to be seen to be siding with the Chinese who have already declared digital sovereignty or dare I say it, with the Russian’s, who are well on the way to receiving a similar digital status with a whole raft of Linux solutions based upon chinese hardware. One of which of course is Jolla based and is already seeing military use on the battlefield as it is completely impervious to big tech’ detection. So ironic, 
but the EU clown act wouldn’t understand it even if you spelt it out to them.
Right now I’m experimenting with a hybrid phone I’ve built that uses an android platform to support all the networking requirements, camera, FOSS Apps, etc whilst also running Alpine desktop (aarch64) in a container for optimising the use of PWA’s, web app’s and hacking tools for everything else. Alpine linux runs very quickly on phones without the need for kernel modifications either. Running the two OS’s in tandem with containers for almost everything appears to be the best way forward for my needs as there are no dependencies on any particular commercial agent or geopolitical location. There’s no way Alpine Linux can be outlawed or bought out and android in it’s pure FOSS form will always be available too. The only major issue for all FOSS phones is the dedicated app’s issue but desktop PWA’s has to be the way to go before screwgle finally pulls the plug on app’s for custom rom’s altogether.

Peel this off, too, really? @jolla shipped this phone with.. 2 off-peelable layers? I’ve never seen such before on phones. Did everybody else but me peel both layers off? Who can confirm what the right move is?
By the looks of it that is the actual screen protector which itself had a protective film (which you already removed and which was supposed to be removed).
Whether you want to remove the screen protector is up to you but you can just keep pushing out the bubbles.

It sounds like you’re saying the bubbles are developing in your screen assembly, rather than a screen protector?
That’s… concerning.
It could be a mistake. Can you check with magnifying glass?
Maybe Sailfish OS is not for you but that is an entirely different topic from suggesting to rely on “sovereign solutions” under the control of a regime that is openly waging a hybrid war against the EU and its member states.
While the situation in the mobile sector in tge EU is extremely dire, relying in any way on an openly hostile regime is certainly not the way to go, beyond maybe looking at possible strategies for more sovereignty in that area.

LOL yeah that’s not what you buy 500+€ devices for. I’ll work with Jolla support for remedy on this.

You likely want to contact support. This seems like a manufacturing issue, probably the factory applied screen protector has an issue. The “fix” might be as simple as shipping you a new one and you reapplying it. I’m sure they will want to know about it though in case it affects more people than you.

As far as i know its not a ‘‘protector’’ per say. Nowhere was written that a ‘‘protector’’ was included.
AFAIK, this is just, as @attah wrote, a film made to avoid any potential mini scratches to happen along shipping.
And yes, two of them to peel off, a little funny, but thats how it went.
