mine cracked - how do you remove it ?

Simply peel off your lcd very gently. That's what I did on my Leica M240. If it doesn't lift easily warm slightly with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive I've been told. I did not need to do this. My LCD was in harmed and I immediately ordered another Giotto.

You can use any super thin piece of hard plastic. Or even a toothpick. Start at an edge and gently lift up. Eventually it will pop off in pieces. It's scary, but it works.

I warm it with a hair dryer and then I just gently pry it off with my fingernail, going around the edge and it will just pop off. Even when broken, it sticks together fairly well with the adhesive on the back.

Use the hair dryer to heat it up untill adhesive becomes loose. Than just pry it off with a soft plastic tool. You can use rubbing alchocol to clean any resedue left on the screen.

I have not had to do it but I seem to remember reading that you heat it with a hair dryer and then use something like dental floss to work under it and then slowly saw along the adhesive.

Carefully!! Use the edge of a credit card but since it is already broken the glass will break into small VERY Sharp pieces!!!! Should be easy to remove...just be Very Careful!

I haven't needed to take it off yet and hope I don't have to but I understand from others that dental tape does the trick. Soft enough not to damage your lcd and strong enough to do the job. Just get under the glass to get started and gently slide down...can't guarantee this but it sounds sensible to. Hope it helps.

Sorry, can't help you. when we received ours it was cracked during shipping. So we returned it and ordered another one (Amazon was great about taking it back) and guess what, it was also cracked. So we sent it back and ended up ordering a Sear sander instead.

I used a pocket knife to chip away at it...be careful as it does shatter and you have to carefully remove it piece by piece.

Meh, you can't really. I tried pulling it up and it "bent" the protector. That corner looks a little wonky now. If you really need to remove it though, try using goo-gone and a fine knife.

First, it DOES feel like you're going to break it when you try to open it. But here's how you do it... After you twist the metal sleeve to unlock it and slide it off, you then pull the entire black plastic top section (that the metal outer sleeve was covering) off from the clear part. There should have been instructions w/your unit that might explain better than I am here.

If the piece broke inside u can either take tweezers and try and pull piece out. Or just have a regular laptop shop take a look at it. All they have to do is open it and take piece out.

The battery compartment on mine is actually quite easy to open. I can just slip my nails in the crack at the top back and push slightly and it slips right off. You could also use the tip of a butter knife or something similar to slip in the crack and nudge it open, then it will simply slide off. To get it back on, make sure you line up the top up level and slide it right up through the little plastic "holders" that are on both sides.

Mine cracked and I used duct tape but eventually water got in so I had to replace it. If it's a small crack you could try super glue.

I've tried, the best way was to start at the top sections near the tabs, use your nail to lift. Unfortunately it will leave the plastic fractured, but it can be removed and re-attached. Good Luck!

There must be, but so far I've not learned it. I even had my son in law to try to remove it and he didn't have the answer. I feel like I'm breaking something every time I remove it. I pull and twist and once I even took a butter knife to pop it out.

Yes it is your screen that is cracked. As for the is it easy or not, you really need to be careful opening the ipad. I have done two and on one of them I managed to cut the power ribbon near the volume and power buttons. The key to opening it up is go slow, and use heat from a hair dryer. Go slow and always purchase a new glass that has the adhesive already attached. You may also want to have some adhesive remover ready for clean up. One of those mats that keep the screws organized may be helpful also.

Use a soldering iron to heat it up and remove. I have used this technique several times. Be careful not to burn anything in the process ;)

Mine cracked after a year. I bought a replacement one from same seller on Amazon (there are several you can find online)

I use the handle of a fork (or something thin and flat) to gently pry it apart at the bottom where you would normally plug the phone in...then carefully separate the top from the bottom. My daughters top section cracked when she took it off one time so I always do so carefully.

Not easy at all. I had mine on for all of a few seconds and needed to readjust it. It cracked and shattered when I tried to remove it gently (even after trying to losen the glue with a blow dryer) which ended up scratching my actual screen. I do not recommend buying this.

I had the same problem. I tried to remove it as they showed in the commercial but I ended up breaking it. :-( Too bad because this really is the best mop I have ever used. Very easy to use.

Something like a semi soft spatula, inserted underneath will pry it off. It's not like it's glued on. I actually had to take off the top lcd protector when I fell and dropped it and it cracked, but saved the lcd display on the camera. It just popped right off using my pocketknife
