I had the same problem. I took a small screwdriver and used it to pry it open

Easiest way ive found is start at the botton and work your way around the edges. It is still difficult though, dont get me wrong.

Unfortunately, the trick is to use something thin to pry it open. I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had to access my battery, but feel as though I could also break it. Not a good design for sure, but for the price, I guess we get what we pay for!

I keep guitar picks around for prying open plastic cases. They're cheap and come in varying thicknesses.

Take a thin flat head screwdriver and slip between gap and pop up. Once one end is up the rest will pop right off. Good luck

You will see a thin gap on the side of the hard plastic, just use your fingernail or metal nail file and pop! Off it will come.

Taking the case off is rather easy. It's as easy as putting it on. Hope that helps.

Mine was hard to get off too so I got one corner off then slid a plastic knife along that side through the openening, and slowly popped off the whole side. Then it just slid off. Plastic knife didn't scratch my phone.

Get a butter knife or coin and slip though the little opening on the right side the slide it a little and the case shall come apart ..( I just tried and it worked)

Hi nforce4max! Unfortunately, the black plastic shell is glued to the case, so you would not be able to remove it without damaging the case, most likely. Apologies for that. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Pick an edge and pry it slowly off...it kinda hurts fingers a bit..better tight than loose..good luck.

Your case is 2 parts, so try to pull the upper section and it should come out with minimum force, then use your fingers by pulling it from the lower case.

So glad you asked that question. I just got my unit and have been trying to take the top off for the past 15 minutes. Finally looked here and was relieved that it's not just me. Finally I got it off - no secret - just brute strength. :-)

OH i know that feeling. Its as simple as pulling it apart, BUT its going to feel as if its going to break. Its a bad feeling. Just take your time and separate the front and back of the case.I haven't took the case off of my iPod since Ive placed it on for the 2nd time. I hope this helps a little.

I am an adult and I had the same problem that this case makes it difficult to use the on an off button. I would say your idea of removing the areas of the case covering those buttons might work. But, I have not tried this solution.

Well just to make sure I am going to do a step by step:1)Peal back the rubber around the charging port and headphone jack.2)Peal the rubber off the entire case3)Using a thin screw driver, or even your fingernail, pry at the clasp latch at the top of the phone/case till it comes free4)Now pry at the two side latches located at the top of the phone5)Do the bottom side ones, and now it should come off without any issues. Hope this helps you out!

Take the rubber part off and look on the side with the lock button, you'll see a small slit you can pry it with a small screwdriver, nail file or something similar. It is hard and you'll feel like it's going to break but mine hasn't so yours shouldn't either.

There is an instructional video on their website...I felt the same way til I watched the video...it's super easy. It just peels apart at the top of the case

I had no problems getting the phone out of the case. It should not be the most simple thing in the world. I just pry the corner where the camera is away and the push the phone out through that camera hole and then just pry it the rest of the way out with my finger. IMO...it's probably best that it doesn't just slip right out of the case.

I was having the having the same problem when I first got my case. What I did was cut slits in the rubber on the two long sides of the button , so that rubber button has more room and freedom to move. Worked for me

I also find it hard to take the case off the phone, but I think that's a good thing because I don't want the phone to accidentally come out of the case. However, I did accomplish it once by starting at the corner near the volume buttons. The case seems to be weakest there. Then I worked my way down that edge, pushing the case back as I went. (By the way, my original comment in my review was that I found it easy to remove the phone, in its case, from the holster. Some reviewers said they had trouble answering the phone because they could not pull the phone from the holster. I hope that I did not cause any confusion.)

I kind of had a hard time removing it without feeling like it would break. Maybe I just didn't know how to do it right. If you need to remove constantly I suggest not getting this case.
