Has anyone had experience trying to peel off the screen protectors off an ipod? I stuck one on my 2G Ipod Nano (it came with the Logiix silicone case), and now I'm trying to peel it off so I can get the dust that was stuck underneath it out.

However, the problem is that it's sitting flush with the Nano's surface, so I can't get a fingernail or blade underneath it to peel it off. Does anyone know of a way to loosen it a little so I can peel it off? The sticky side had a bit of a tack to it so it's stuck down pretty good...

Any ideas?

Ouch, should've used the kind of screen protector that relies on static to stay put. Good luck getting that sh!t off, especially on a 2G Nano.

The screen protector came with the case. I figured why spend more money when I got one with the case. :)

I think I'll give it a go with the hair dryer to see if the heat will release it a little...

hehe...managed to get it off with the hair dryer and a little patience. :)

Ipod didn't get too hot and it seems to still be working still. Now to clean off the screen protector and restick it back on.
