    Heat it up w/ a hair dryer for about 2 mins....then it will peel clean off.

    I took mine off yesterday when I painted my xbox. I used the freezer method and it worked good for me, but it takes a while and patience. I left mine in the freezer for 2 hours then hit the jewel from the underside of the case with the handle of a screw driver and it popped right off. There was very very little glue stuck onto it :). I then used goof off to clear the jewel and it worked like a charm. Crystal clear :).. but I painted it.. :)

    Oo yeah I've seen those nice choice :p.

    Are you going to be painting your xbox, adding LED's, etc? Or just replacing the jewel?
