I remember reading a post where someone had a problem trying to take one off. I see that Giottos describe a removal method on their site with limited heating. I have not tried it and don't need to. I would certainly use as little heat as possible to try to loosen the protector if I had to remove it. I don't know how many people have had one on an M8 (or any other camera) and decided to take it off, then had a problem. My view is that any impact that did crack the protector would have damaged the actual LCD glass and maybe the LCD itself if the protector was not there. I would rather try to replace the protector than the LCD! You should not fit yours if you are worried about a possible future problem. I will try not to say, I told you so, if you do damage your LCD sometime down the track ;-) ;-) By the way my camera usually has a leather flap covering the screen anyway (Luigi half-case). 2009/2/5 Scott Gregory <s_gregory1@mac.com> > Geoff: > > I have the same screen, but as yet have not installed it on my M8. > Kind of got scared off from using it, as I had read numerous posts about > people who put it on the M8 and then tried to take it off and the M8 screen > popped off with it.
