Just wanted to see if any play without the glass on?
I figure in your own home you don't need to.
Also no Glare
Let me know if you do and what you feel are pro's and con's

Only when I am testing a repair or diagnosing an issue, too dang loud without the glass to play long term that way. Plus I always wonder without glass how far the ball would fly those times it smashes into the glass?
I had recorded a few gameplay videos with the glass off that I posted on Youtube because I wanted no glare on the video, but for real world use it's just too noisy to be enjoyable.
Quoted from Grizlyrig:It becomes way too loud and one good fly ball and kiss your back glass goodbye.

And hit other machines and whatever else is around the machines! Get a GBLE/Premium and play it with the glass off.. I think that you could get a ball that hits you in the head! Keeping the balls on the playfield is hard enough!
Plus look how dirty the glass gets. That would be on your playfield. I would rather not have a ball rolling around on that.
~con you wont get the air ball smacking the glass and saving the shot?
~pro you will be more like Tod Tuckey lol

Only while testing or when recording a gameplay video.
As others mentioned -- dust and noise issues. Feels weird somehow as well.. I like to contain the ball in its little 'world'
Quoted from Freeplay40:Um, I tend to get much higher scores with the glass off...
SAME here. Was doing something on EBD a few weeks ago, forget exactly what, and had the glass out and the back glass out. Had the best ball on a pin I've ever had. Go figure? Was almost 3 million on ball 1 before the frickin ball even drained! Of course we all know how the extra ball and balls 3 and 4 went.....
