It doesn't appear to be able to slide out the top. there seems to be a ridge on both the bottom and top. how does it slide out?

The same way that it slides in is the same way that it slides out. Slide in from the top face in ; slides out by pulling from the bottom towards the top

It does slide out the top. There's a slight ridge on the top, but only just enough to hold it in. It's a great case. Highly recommend it.

That photo is a little deceptive there is no ridge on top just a slight lip across the top back of the case. It slips in and out real easy but have never had it fall out on me.

I've been grabbing both sides from the bottom, and have been shimming a bit. You will not break the tops, but the individual arms might slide out...just push back in.

The top is not easily removed. It is fixed onto to cabinet in the box, but could be removed by cutting the silicone and there may be some brackets also.

The one I purchased did not have that ridge. I would contact the person you purchased it from and have them send you a new one.

the top of the cooling pad is a metal grill (or metal mesh)... for lack of better words. if your laptop has rubber feet on it... it shouldn't slide anywhere... ours doesn't. even when the feet of the cooling pad are raised so as to incline the back of the laptop higher... i haven't notice any sliding.

There is no release mechanism on the unit as far as I can tell. I just kinda wiggle it back and forth and pull until it slides off. Unless I'm missing something. : )

The material is a ridge plastic/rubber piece, but nothing slides. If the item is tall enough, it will more likely topple over before it slides. If you are considering this, get it. You will love it, unless you are always opening n closing the 3rd row.

I must admit it's a pain to take it out. I'd advise you to limit the times to take it off. First, you can use your thumbs (2 thumbs) to push on the margin of the top, and then continue to do so for other edges. I hope this helps. :)

I suspect it's just wedged on tight. I don't know what would happen if you tried prying it or greasing it. Mine is, I think, a bit tight, but can be wiggled off.

There is something to keep it from sliding but it is easily knocked off. However you are pouring boiling watr over the thing; better be careful and not moving it around.

There is a lip that holds the top from sliding off but when you pick up the dish with the top, you have to be careful because the top does not fit tightly.

sometimes the top plastic comes loose , I've put two small pieces of gaffer tape to keep it in place. good luck

The top spins off the base. If it has been awhile it is probably stuck on the sealing surface of the base...good luck

No, it is *not* flat on the bottom. There are some raised ridges on the bottom. Glad I coiuld help!

Well it's not designed for the entire top to come off, it's designed so that you can only access the interior through either the mesh or the installed 3" screw plug. I suppose you could take it to a local fabricator and have the top cut and banded so that it could come off and on.

I believe that it slides over. You might be able to remove it with damaging it.

hi...I just tested it and it slides down. but you can probably wedge it with a thin wooden stick.
