Why are the covers so very difficult to remove - almost impossible?

Personally IMHO, I don't find the covers to be a problem. I don't use them as much for hot drinks but still its not a problem for me.

I do not know, did not like them at all, and donated them to salvation army.

I have an earlier model with the same cover. I've dropped it several time while it was filled. Usually the lid stays on. +1 for a tight lid!

They need to be tight because they snap on and off. There is a tab on the cover to make removing less difficult.

It must be their construction, for us, we are lucky to have the lids left over from our old Alladin mugs that bit the dust and those lids are easy to get off and on. It is a design flaw.

I have not removed the cover. I always put a towel or small blanket on things like this to make it easier to keep it clean, instead of removing and cleaning.

There is a little hole in the bottom that you have to push with the tip of a paper clip. The cover will then slide up and pull off.

Remove the round plastic covers with flathead screwdriver and unscrew the 2 screws. It will come off easy

No you can't. And you can't access any of the controls without removing cover.

Removal is not a problem. Take something sharp, lift one corner of it until you can grasp it with your fingers, and simply pull it off. It comes off quite easily. Best Regards, Rich

It's not difficult to remove at all. You just slide open the top cover and it slides right out! It's an excellent case. Hope that helps!

You have to pull it starting from one side and push the cover in the opposite direction, is not easy but there is no easy way with covers.

Yes, you can remove them but not very easy. May need some tools to remove completely

It's not difficult, but comes off easiest by doing each piece separately. The outside cover is hard plastic & inside is the rubbery cilicone

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

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.

It is a bit tricky but can be done if you are very careful. Using a micro screw driver (jeweler's screwdriver) carefull pry up one side (usually side with the screw works best). Carefully slide screwdriver along side just prayed up to release retaining clips on the cover. The cover is flexible and can be bowed slightly to allow other sides to pop free. Just be careful not to use too much force or you can break the tabs off

I had the very same problem. I had to hire a repair man to get it off. So it can be done but I could not do it myself.

Tug, pull and pry carefully. Once it's on, it's kinda tough to get off but start with top and work your way around hard case...

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.
