What is the purpose of a motherboards IO Plate !?

I just realized my MOBO came with an IO Plate (my case had one that didn't fit), and I've already installed the MOBO and plugged in every cable.

Just wondering if I should go ahead and forget about the IO Plate, or, go through the trouble of unplugging everything, un-mounting the MOBO...etc.

Whatcha' think ?
 
I/O shield acts as structural bracing more than aesthetic appeal. If you made a mistake than take the motherboard off and put the shield in place. This is something you shouldn't get lazy about. You could get away with not using it, but I would not recommend that
 
Thank you for the excellent explanation. Much appreciated.

*Sigh... off to undo everything I've just done ;)
