No. "An iron band, this simple ring generates a shield-sized (and shield-shaped) wall of force that stays with the ring and can be wielded by the wearer as if it were a heavy shield (+2 AC)."
It stays with the ring. If you decide to take the ring off to try to throw the ring you are no longer wielding/wearing the ring and it ceases to generate the shield.

Nothing can stop you from throwing it. Now, its up to debate whether or not you can throw it with the shield active, but you can throw it just as well as you can throw a ring of regeneration or a ring of climbing. I'd honestly allow it to be thrown like a thrown shield if it were a creative solution to a problem or a character concept, but not if it were a player trying to pull cheese around.

Are you saying its connected/tethered to the ring?
If you read the item's description it states exactly what I quoted...."Stays with the ring". I am not saying it is anything, the rules state that the shield that the ring generates stays with the ring. There is nothing obtuse about the rule, no wording that is confusing. It is a clear and easy rule.

What are you talking about? If you take the ring off you are no longer wearing the ring and it is no longer active. The rule also says that the shield stays with the ring. This isn't about if you would houserule it otherwise. This is a rules question. If you take off a ring it is no longer working for you, and if you have it on the Force shield stays with the ring....i.e, no throwing it.

You can still throw a ring. Nothing stops you from throwing a ring. It might not be smart, effective, or mechanically advantageous, but you can still throw a ring at an enemy. Unless you can show me a rule that states that rings can not be thrown 10 feet.
You did say this:

I'm pretty sure Fake Healer was just pointing out that this would be a house rule and not an actual from-the-book rule.

Yes, you can throw a ring. You cannot however throw a ring and keep it activated. Once you no longer wear it the ring goes inactive.Not that I disagree here, as it really doesn't effect anything I will see [I don't typically throw rings, or see people try to], but do you have a citation, or is this RAI v. RAW?

Yeah, but the main point was that you could throw the ring, but RAW it probably is a bad idea [although, throwing you shield is a bad idea as well generally]. That was more of an afterthought because I see nothing wrong with the concept of throwing a ring of force shield.
