I'm having trouble removing the case (I want to wipe off my computer) Any tips for getting the case off without damaging anything?

As long as you can lift one corner off, just run your finger slowly between the cover and the laptop and it will pop off, you will think you're going to break it but I have done it many times and never broken it, the key is patience because you want a nice tight fit to keep the dust out...good luck and go slowly, maybe find some one with petite fingers to get it started ?

It's not that easy. I just tried to remove it for the first time and took me about 2 min. Best way seems to pry it off from the top down.

Hi I just popped the cover off to check and I am 99% sure that you cant take the cover off because it appears to be glued to the back of the faceplate of the case.

The bottom piece comes off easy from the front of the laptop pulling down. The top piece is a pain to get off, I just took mine off the other day to clean my laptop. Not fun. Some pulling and prying required but it comes off undamaged.

Poke your finger thru the front opening to grip the front of case and pull apart. Here's a video on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVfi3PiJF5g. It's a very good case. My daughter loves hers.

There is no practical reason for removing the housing (case) from the internal components. There are no user serviceable parts inside and you risk exposing the components to electrostatic discharge. Are you wanting to remove the case so that it fits the USB port because sometimes they put the USB ports so close together that two devices won't fit next to each other? If so, I suggest using a USB extender cable.

You just pop it off. Push on the edges until it pops off. It just clips on to the computer.

Oh ouh, so, you did something wrong, or the case have some problem (I'm not surprised!). It should get off easily!

wow -it's hard. just broke a fingernail. Put in the charger to help with leverage, then insert a fingernail at the midpoint of the side, and gently wiggle and pry case away from phone. good luck ! I think I'll go back to my soft case.

Grip the sides of the case tight in one hand, and the sides on the other hand. Then pull hard. Sliding it out using a downwards and out motion on the screen works too.

Weird... Mine was not so hard. I just removed the rubber external frame first, then open front and rear parts with a little pressure.Sorry can't help you with more to say.Any way, these cases are a strong ones, so... Don't be scared to use a little more pressure than you first thought.

I pull the bottom half of the case off first, then pinch the home button at the bottom with my thumb and forefinger on the back middle to pull the rest of the case off with my other hand. It is hard the first few times, but starts to slide off smoother and easier after that. Mine slips right on and off easy now.

It should just click off, it wont brake lol. Around the screen you should see like 4 clips almost where the case latches on to the screen, start there at each one and it should come off

You need to pull hard as it is a tight fit case.If that fails you can wedge a small screw driver in between the case and the nut at the back of the case and then pull again.I am convinced it won't be necessary though.Hope this helps and enjoy a great tool!!!

It would take a lot of force for it to come out of the case I would imagine. I actually have a tough time removing it, which is nice.

Hi, the best way I found to get mine off was to lay the phone screen down on a flat surface and push down just above the spot where the two pieces of the case come together. Once you push down on there, the bottom piece should slide off easier. I hope that helps

I removed the cover today on mine to replace the HDD with an SSD and add another mSATA. BE FOREWARNED: To remove the case you have to break a "Warranty Void" sticker. Once inside you will find *nothing* can be upgraded replaced without having to completely disassemble the system; I decided to not attempt it. I've been building/upgrading systems for 20 years and the internal design of this system was complex enough to scare me off. The only thing that appears to accessible is the HDD but I could figure out how it was mounted and wasn;tabout to tinker about and make a $2K paperweight :)
