I'm looking to remove my screen cover to clear some dust that got in. can I safely remove the cover and then put in back on? i saw you really struggle to pull off the cover is it really that hard?
It was a little tricky, but not bad. While you've got it almost at that point take a few minutes (or more) to study how you'll pop it off. It's rather easy and any damage from the disassembly will be to the broken screen (that you're replacing anyway).

ok, i've successfully broken my lcd screen, and replaced it following your instructions. I did a great job, thanks to you but here is my problem. The replacement lcd screen isn't the same as the original. It's dimmer, not as sharp and colorful as the original. I can't seem to find an exact oem replacement screen. Where did you get yours from, and is it the same as the original?
Mine was from eBay and it was OEM (or a good enough fake that it fit) so it worked out just right. Even if there are junk versions being produced now, I'd still recommend eBay (just beware of this as you shop).
