Is there some trick to opening it? It's very difficult and I don't want to break it.

I didn't try to open it as it is not real leather as it was originally described and looked like cheap alligator skin or something. But it probably has a standard latch? Try pushing anything that looks or feels like a button tab and it will probably open. Or you should just save your money and get a different one

Mine was hard too. I just sprayed a little wd40 on a Qtip and rubbed it in the closer. That seem to help. Plus the more I use it the better it gets.

i'm having trouble opening it as well. Please let me know how you end up opening it. Thanks!

Very carefully, lol. There is a definite trick to it and I can't always say I get it on the first or fifth try. Grab the lower left corner and top right corner and twist it into itself. It may take a few tries but it will fold up eventually.

mine opened very easily--just tried again. turn it counter clockwise --push to the right where it says open

You have to pull hard. It clicks in so to open it you have to grasp it and pull hard

It seems difficult to do, but just keep pushing on the handle and blower part at the same time, essentially doing the opposite of opening it, as described by by Lisa P in answer 1-1.

I have a couple of different types of these. This one is a little stiff to open. Some of them you have to press down on the cover while turning to open it. Try that. If it doesn't work I'll get mine in hand and talk you through it.

You have to gently pry it open using a fingernail or similar small object. Here's a picture of the opened enclosure: http://d.pr/i/fNMS

find the opening spaces and open those, then you can pop the case open. It is a bit frustrating at first, because you feel as though you may break it, but you won't.

First, it DOES feel like you're going to break it when you try to open it. But here's how you do it... After you twist the metal sleeve to unlock it and slide it off, you then pull the entire black plastic top section (that the metal outer sleeve was covering) off from the clear part. There should have been instructions w/your unit that might explain better than I am here.

Just pull HARD! I thought I was missing part of the instructions, because the handle would not easily open and had to google this myself. Just pull HARD. It won't break, but you think it's going to.

Unscrew it. Grab Base with Left Hand and the Top with your right hand, then twist your Right hand Counter-Clockwise. It seals pretty tightly so it might be difficult, but it will come loose.

It is not hard to open, I can open it with one hand while holding the baby. My 8 years old has no problems either. Hope this helps.

I've used a butter knife between the bottom of the lid and the side of my thumb to pry it open. Just be careful not to spill it everywhere!

When I first received this it was extremely hard to open it, just kept trying and it opened. Sorry, not a big help but my experience. -Peace

yeah, a little tricky. There's a small tab to the left, just move it out a little and the compartment will open up. Others have had the same problem.

Try a penny or a small flat tip screwdriver and gently lift at the seam. It should open easily.
