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.

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 :-)

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 case is really flexible...with your fingernail slide in between the side of the iPhone's body and the case...then...snap it out gently (because you might want to put it back on later...may be...?...right...?...only in case...you don't like the case anymore...then...just completely...smash it off...I'm sorry, I was just kidding...! )

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 Kathryn . Honestly ... I love this case so much I haven't taken it off since I put it on. But I can see what u mean .. It is hard to take off . Good luck .

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

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. :-)

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.)

My daughter has this case and she actually dropped her phone the other day and the case came off. I have not seen her try to take it off other than that but since it came off that easily I would have to say that maybe your case has some kind of a defect or something. Sorry wish I could help.

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.

The black part on the bottom, you have to try really hard to get that off without breaking the case. When I tried, it broke a little. It's really hard, good luck

The only way to get it out is to use a flat head screwdriver and pry between the bottom part of the case and get that off, the just keep working to get the top to slide off. It takes a long time to do this.

The best that I can say is to pull it off very slowly. You can use your fingers to gently pry the adhesive away from the device. It may seem like you may break the case, device, or both, but if you go slowly, it will come off.

It just rests on it you can easily take it out of the case. Hope that helps :)

Try to release it from one of the four corner at the case. Press and slight twist then it shall come out. Just getting used to it. It is best case for iPad that I have known...period, so don't return it !! Good value, very functional and slick.

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...
