Has anybody tried to remove the screen protector from their X3? Mine got a scuff on it so I thought I'd take it off and replace it with one of the spare ones but I can't get it off. It's on so good it seems like there isn't even one on there but I know it came preinstalled. Just wondering if anyone has any screen protector removal tricks..

I paid $290 Canadian plus 13% tax for mine.

 
We Canadians are really getting screwed. Even with the low Canadian dollar, it should only cost $249.00 + tax here.

I know eh, I "questioned" the exchange rate being applied to the $200 U.S. pricing and was simply told that that was the Canadian pricing. Really, eh?

Yes, I paid almost $300 for mine after the exchange, import taxes etc. but even if I had bought it somewhere in Canada it would have cost at least that much. It was pretty expensive on Amazon and Headphone bar doesn't have it.

Headphone Bar has it now:

They had held off carrying it because they also didn't agree with the Canadian pricing, but it looks like they've caved in.
 
If you paid $300 total including all taxes, you still came out ahead. Here it would be $328 with the tax.

Expensive! but I've seen it more expensive in a couple other Canadian online stores. I got mine from B&H Photo and it was $200 US, free shipping but of course the poor exchange rate and duties so it was around $280 or so.

I wasn't going to get it right now a but I don't think, being a Canadian resident that I can order electronic items from Amazon.com..only Amazon.ca which is usually extremely expensive here.

It's on at a pretty good price at Amazon.ca right now with free shipping:
 
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00M562LF4/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
 
Probably better than B&H when you factor in the exchange rate and other costs.

Didn't see that one thanks! I wasn't really in the market for a 128gb card but at that price maybe I will

I guess maybe the electronics that are sold on Amazon.ca are only ridiculously priced when it's an Amazon seller and not actually Amazon...at least that's how it is some of the time..

I mean it's pretty well known that Canada's cost of living is higher than the US.   It's an expensive place with expensive goods.
