From what I've read, it just pops off. Tell me how this goes, I'm wanting a color change of my own.

well i did it u need a 1.5inch hex screw after that undo the screws .. take them out... buy the same size of the same type.... because mine stripped..... but back on track after you turn the screeen off push out at the top corners try and work it so it pops off it should start to come off just use a credit card to work it out further... next step if you dont want to viod your warrenty just put it over the already transparent paper.... and tape it on top....... ulll need a lighting gel paper thingy cause i wanted a black logo and when i printed out black on printer paper and turned the screeen on it look crappy as hell becauise it was black all the way through and the white form the other side shinned through.... after decideing to take the black paper out..... i tried to uunscrew the screw but 1 was stripped i thought i would be screwed because they will think i vioded my warrenty..... luckily i didnt tape it in i just placed it so i popped out one of the sides and pulled it out...... and decided to call it quits... but when i get my powerbook in september... well that a different story!
