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.

Hold the case backwards and start trying to remove the case from the top. It's not easy to get off.

Hi. I'm just another customer, but I have the case. The way it's made, you couldn't keep the bumper on by itself. The soft bumper goes on, then the outer ring, which is hard plastic, goes over it and secures it. It looks really good, but you do still have to be a bit careful because you can knock it off more easily than a full case.

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.

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

I had the same problem. I ended up using a credit card to pry it out of the case so I didn't scratch my phone. I hope that helps.

I've been doing it by opening the case so everything is facing upward with the latch/ipad on the right (I'm right-handed), holding the latch slightly toward the inside with my right thumb and using the fingers of my left hand to push slightly upward on the back of the top left corner of the case while using my left thumb to snap the corner of the case off of the ipad. Repeat with the lower left corner then reach to the top left again (where the cut-out for the headphone jack is) and lift the ipad out. Mine comes out very easily now but it was probably a bit difficult the first few times :-)

push down to remove cover and slide it off. Let me know if you still have trouble.

I fought with the case for some time, before it suddenly came undone! Surprise. There's a small space at the top where you can insert a nail or gently a fine knife then apply pressure to the two corners at that same end (on the outside case of course) - and that's how it happened. Good luck!

Sorry I just play around with mine until it comes off. I have the same problem

I've had no issue with my side button coming off when removing the case but I've only taken it off twice. I'd ask for a new one, doesnt seem normal.

You mean how to take it off? I just tried it on mine -- I pushed/pried back on the top left corner of the case and it will eventually pop off the phone, and you can then pop the phone the rest of the way out.

If you still don't have any luck, I can try to post a video this weekend of how to lock it in. It's really a secure case in that respect. I've dropped my ipad so many times and it remains securely in the case. Let me know if you think a video would help or if you've just moved on entirely :-)

The front sits tightly inside the back piece which has a slightly rubbery feel to it on the sides. If you start at one of the corners you should be able to hold the front of the case still with your left thumb (if you are right handed) and with the thumb on your right hand pull back on the corner and it should come apart. It took me a few tries when I got it. I love the case so give it a try.

Hello. Down at the bottom of the phone is soft rubber. Pull that rubber down and on the bottom right while pulling the rubber down the the bottom lock to case will pull back. Pull that back and the top facing of the case will come right off. The phone then lifts out. Hope this helps :)

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.
