I was just thinking. maybe taking a hair dryer to the old/damaged screen would help ease the removal. just light heat. wouldn't want to overheat anything. but I'm sure that would get the job done.

I use this from B&H:

It's a little pricey what I think you get what you pay for. It's good quality and I've never had issues with it on my 50D so I bought a second one for the 5DII.

could try that if ever needed i guess?

does anyone else have another way to do it without marking the body's paint?

That's exactly how it's done. You don't damage any paint, or anything else, replacing the cover. You use a suction cup to remove it, and put the new one in. I've never done it, but I've read multiple threads here and elsewhere, and it's universally considered a dead-simple fix.

For roughly $8.00 US you can buy one of these (40D protector) which is what I used on my camera, and I've used many of their custom cut ones on my others. I really don't see any reason to argue with those who think it's easier or cheaper to just buy a new one from Canon when neeeded so this is my way of protecting both LCD's.

I like the boxwave crystal protectors. I use them on all my phones and cameras. They are made of thick, clear plastic. When installed you can not tell its there. If it lifts off and gets dirt on the adhesive surface, you can remove it, clean it with soap and water, and reapply. Kind of pricey but worth it IMHO.

No, they are adheasive. You wash them with mild soap and then shake off the water drops and apply.

I use an LCD protector. I don't mind little scratches, but they impacts resale value and I don't want to deal with replacing the LCD when I go to sell one of my cameras.

:stomps feet: But it's super easy!

All kidding aside, I can see where people want to use them. Just invest in one of the quality protectors if you're going to, because I've used a ton of the cheap ones (iphone) and they're not worth the shipping cost (or taxes, if you buy locally). :)
