So I put a protective screen on my DS Lite, but it did not go well.
Now I got a big dust (well somthing...) stuck on my screen and some bubles that are annoying when using the stylus.

What can I do? How to get it off?

Put a blowdryer to it and pull. Keep the dryer at least a few inches away though, and keep it in motion. It should melt the glue enough to pull it free.

Once you do that, you're going to need some goo-gone, great stuff. It will pull the remaining bits of glue off.

Hey, kip, does that work even if the protectors were glued a long time ago?

I may have to take them off my NDS someday, too...

Glue?

I thought they just stuck on like static cling stuff.

No, think of them like transparent stickers.

I REMOVED IT!! !
I don't have a blowdryer, so I used a lamp. Even then I still had to to a dangerous operation with a sharp object to remove it, but I was able to get through without a scratch (literally...)

I don't know what goo-gone is though, I guess I stick with some glue for now.

I do not know what it is, either, but it sounds as something that makes it easier to wipe the residues of glue that may have been left.

Yes.
