Yep, I would HIGHLY recommend not pushing with your thumbs directly on the glass to put the cover on. As Nathan points out, Sony was pretty eager to suggest the face down way of attaching a cover (and the screen, while reasonably tough, is probably the weakest part of the device in terms of durabiility).
I never thought about taking it off, but I think I sort of push my fingers in between as I push it off to keep from twisting anything. It sure does make a nasty noise, though!!
