It's easy. There are three small tabs under the kickstand that you'll need to finagle open. Gently (gently! They're fragile) press them towards the inside of the device and they'll click one they release.

It is. Also, Thoughtfix posted a disassembly walk through, including photos and video, on his site a few years ago. It may help allay any remaining fears.

I am pretty sure there is a post in this forum instructing how to open N800 and apply a screen protector on it. but i could not find it today. weird. i had seen it before.

It took me 1 min to take it off and took me more than 10 min to put it back.

Turn off the power

open the kick stand, there are 3 very shiny tiny slots on the upper edge of lower border of the tablet. You should see reflecting metal behind the slots. These are the springs that hold the face plate down, very gently push it in (you will definitely surprise how little push in you need, very very little), the face plate will open up like a clam shell, with the other end (the end without the kick stand) pivoted to the upper edge.

There are a total of 3 spring clips on the lower edge and 3 pivote clip on the upper edge.

Pic number 1 and 3 show the pivote clips and pic number 4 and 5 show the spring clips. Pic number 5 show the clips along the long edge of the face plate.
