Hey, this is not easy... I've successfully broken the LCD on my ipt2g trying to fix a chip in the glass. the mistake occurred when i was initially popping it open. Ive spent the last two years of my life fixing cellphones for a radio shack and like to consider myself somewhat of an expert on using a pry tool to pop open anything. i made a noob mistake. the kind of simple ^@^^ i did on my first phones. this is simply not easy to do, applying to much force causes a violent opening, not enough and you fidget around until you slip up. go at it with purpose and a good mindset. hold it above something soft and never allow you hands to get sweaty. when you slip and break it, try to keep your cool and not kick a hole in drywall.
