I tried to do that yesterday. After disassembling the unit, I tried  
to peel off the film starting at the display's upper left corner.  
However, what came off was a rather sturdy layer of plastic sheet. I  
had expected some thin film like you would get on any new mp3  
player's display. But this layer was like a part of the display  
itself. Fortunately, I only took off like 5 mm, and because it didn't  
feel right, I tucked it back in.

So ... what should the protective film look like? Did anybody else  
try this? Is it a notable difference in appearance, or should I  
rather leave it alone?
