Just say NO to screen protectors

Decided that I didn't want my screens to be marked up, bought a screen protector kit made by a company called Intec.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Touch screen protector, while not hindering performance of the touching, did mess up the colours. White turned purple or brown, for example. Ugly. Ugly ugly ugly. Unenjoyable, even. So I went to take it off. It didn't want to come off. Managed to use fingernail without scratching the screen. Left odd mark, took some scrubbing with a soft cloth i use to clean my glasses to get it off.

Main screen protector was not only already beaten up, but really dulled the colours. So I went to take it off. The glue remained on the 4 corners of the screen's border. Gross. Nasty. Prepostrous! UGLY! Sticky..

Scratching it off: failure
Water on Q-Tip: failure
Rubbing alcogol on Q-Tip: failure

So my mother took nailpolsih remover to it. Got the job done, but took off some of the paint's finish. Under the right light, you will see brown instead of silver in some spots. One spot has part of a thumb print, resulting from me trying to block her from getting the shit inside the speakers. Glue removed, DS uglied slightly. Maddening.

At least my DS smells of flowers now.

On a side note ladies, you people use this shit on your hands!? I surprise your skin doesn't fall off!

Ladies aren't human. But sorry to hear about your troubles.

Actually, nail polish remover is supposed to only go on the nails, but it doesn't hurt the skin, anyway. I usually just end up picking my nail polish off on the rare occassions I wear it, anway. LOL.
