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.

Mine was hard to get off too so I got one corner off then slid a plastic knife along that side through the openening, and slowly popped off the whole side. Then it just slid off. Plastic knife didn't scratch my phone.

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

supposedly it comes off very easily when u take off the cover,i cant get it off either ,maybe if u turn it and twist it it should lift off because it does lock down in there when you put it back on

I was having the having the same problem when I first got my case. What I did was cut slits in the rubber on the two long sides of the button , so that rubber button has more room and freedom to move. Worked for me

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.)

It's super difficult. I have to pry on one side and pull on the same corner of the case. It almost feels like you are at the point of breaking it.

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. :-)

Grip the sides of the case tight in one hand, and the sides on the other hand. Then pull hard. Sliding it out using a downwards and out motion on the screen works too.

While I've heard that some people have difficulty removing it, I've found it to be not too difficult. This is what I do. Holding the iPad in portrait mode, I push off the upper right tab of the plastic case. This is rather easy to do. Then, I gradually push the cover's right edge off of the iPad, starting from the upper right side. About half way down, you'll feel the iPad pop off. Just make sure that any flex forced in the process is exerted on the plastic cover and not your iPad. Good luck.

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.

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...

Your case is 2 parts, so try to pull the upper section and it should come out with minimum force, then use your fingers by pulling it from the lower case.

It can be a little sticky to get off, but once I got over my fear of breaking it, it got easier. Good luck.

Yeah, it's really tough... I found that if you go to the weakest point (where the volume controls are) and stick your fingernail between the phone and the edge of the case, you will able to pry it off.

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.
