I hate to say it but a small smudge would drive me nuts too. Sorry it didn't work out as well as hoped.

Could try WD-40, rubbing alcohol, or nail polish remover.

I use hand sanitizer on my device every week with a cotton ball. Cleans it up real nice and I haven't had any issues with it ruining my screen protector (SGP Ultra Olephobic)

Goo Gone is harsh but maybe if you put a small amount on a cloth and just lightly wipe it. I know it takes anything off lots of different surfaces.

+ 1 for the go gone. I have i've used it to clean all my phones of unremoveable scuffs, marks and gunk. Never had it cause any damage personally. Just keep it away from screen protectors as it will lift the edges if too much is applied, so you only need a dab!

I would just take a cotton ball lightly dipped in alcohol or nail polish remover. It really shouldn't hurt the screen protector or the phone

Really? Are you nuts, Isopropyl alcohol sure but nail polish remover is acetone and is very agressive to many plastics! Use with care, plus don't get any on your skin, it will store in your liver.

Which is why I said a little on a cotton ball...if anything use a q-tip so that all you do is wipe the marker

Why replace it when I literally had JUST received it from zagg.com (was before any retail stores carried it. Anyway, the smudge is more or less gone now! I used a TINY but of alcohol on it..which got the green off. Then I used a microfiber cloth/LCD screen cleaner to get leftover mark off. There is still a tiny mark on it...which you can see only if you're specefically looking for it + the LCD display is off...maybe I will replace it eventually..after all Zagg does offer lifetime warranty :D
