Does anyone know how to get the lid off? I just received mine and I am afraid to break the hard plastic. The directions don't seem to be helpful.

It won't break. Just open it and wiggle it up and it should come off. It might be a little stuff at first but it will get looser

It is designed to fit very tight. One must open it up 90 degrees or even a little more and pull up straight.

I haven't use mine for a while now, and I'm not at home but the handle is where you should look, I believe that's where the lid seperate from the body housing

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.

A tin shears might do it! IF it has gone all the way around, it should come off easily. However, as I recall, there is a silvery doodad to the left of center, and if you push this, it will release the lid. Good Luck! I'd return it if I were you. Send it along with the lid.

The only thing I can think of is perhaps you left the lid on. Take the plastic lid off. I have used this product with excellent results.

I haven't had that problem...quite the opposite. The lid was on so tight I had trouble getting it off.

We've never had any trouble getting the lid off ours, but I suppose that if it's a tight fit a thumb nail between the "tab" at the back (opposite the holes in the lid) and the plastic "rim" should loosen it.

I had trouble with the lid, too. Not only getting the lid off but getting it on. I put it in my garage and bought another different one which is much better.

Just line up the 2 pieces of plastic on back of lid and wiggle and push it on. I take mine off too clean

the bottom one is easy.... but the lid cover was a pain to get off.... I thought I was going to break the screen because of the amount of pressure i used. BE CAREFUL. I opened the lid and then started on the side trying to pry it up a little with my right hand while with my left got my fingernail underneath the little clip and pushed it up till it popped off. Then you have to get off the left clip which was even harder..... good luck and be reallly extremely careful.

I was able to remove the seal fairly easily. You will need to use your fingernail or something like a butter knife to press the seal towards the inside of the lid in one of the corners and then kind of roll it. You will be able to pull the seal out easily once you get it loose in one spot.

well, I didn't open it up -- not sure you could do that without breaking the plastic housing, which is sealed. good question, tho: anyone else tried it?

Maybe you can gorilla glue the part back on. Also, the plastic's pretty thick. Someone might be able to screw it on in a way that would enable you to use the lock. Can't the manufacturer replace the lid entirely?

I just take off the whole lid off to drink. It is kinda inconvenience. I think they designed the lid like that for keeping the drink hot, not for the shake of drinking. I'm sorry i can't help much... >.<

Along the lip of the lid, there is a plastic 'tab' that you pull horizontally and you will keep pulling all the way around the lid until its removed. Hope that helps!

You have to pull it off, but it's not hard. The lid stays on securely, though, and wouldn't come off without a little help (pulling).

I cannot get the lid off to fill it, its a Christmas gift and I was looking it over,, any suggestions out there

That was difficult for me too. I tried the "push button" method like with metal lids but that didn't work so well. After the jars had cooled off, (a couple of hours) I lightly pulled on the lid. there were a couple of lids that seemed sealed but when I was putting them away, the lid came off. I really didn't have any more failed seals than with the metal lids, just harder to tell.
