I will definitely message him. There probably isn't too much difference in the build of the models. Thanks.

The post that OrdinarilyInordinate linked to was the one I referred to but couldn't find. After another look at my NX10 and the service manual, I am sure the protective glass/plastic is on the outside of the camera's back panel whereas the amoled screen is inside. Therefore there is no need to undo any screws.

The protector seems to be self-adhesive around the edges, so if you can lift one corner slightly, perhaps with an old-style razor blade, it may peel off. As Usee has actually done it, his advice will be invaluable. Good luck.

That is already a pretty good description:

NX1000 with a anti-reflective protection glass

View: original size

The screen itself is a pure plastic cover without adhesive.

It is taped with a both sided adhesive tape to the rear of the camera.

I had the luck whilst lifting the plastic screen on one edge with a knife (you need a sturdy and thin piece of metal to lift a corner), the tape nearly remained on its place, thus, I could use it to fix the new cover glass.

The problem is, that this solution wasn't cheap because of the anti-reflective protection glass, which I bought from Edmund Optics.

I used a glass cutter and a sharp edge on a table (and something that prevents the remaining glass from braking), to break the glass (out of a bigger glass) to the needed size.

If you are no perfectionist in regard of optics and anti-reflective coatings, you could either consider a better anti-reflective coated plastic cover, or a anti reflective glass, from every device you know of and go to a window manufacturer, or a picture frame service, to cut the glass, or plastic to the needed size.

If you are a careful person, you get the best anti-reflective result, if you just remove the old cover and don't replace it...

...however, you increase the risk of damage of the LCD dramatically...

...whereas I wouldn't overstate this.
