Does anyone had problems opening the computer lid as it opens without the case?

It does not seem to interfere. If you place your thumb in the middle of the lid where the indent is located and lift upward, the lid seems to open just the same as if no case was on it (with perhaps the slightest difference -- but nothing that has caused me any frustration). Keep in mind, this case is not a "skin" so there is some thickness to it (a few millimeters) adding some added dimension to the computer, but it's very minimal, and the case is cut in such a way as to only come to the edge of the top lid, preventing interference with opening. It doesn't wrap around the middle-front if that's what you're concerned about.

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.

It is very odd to open I had trouble when I received mine also. Instead of using the lip on the lid, grab the smooth sides beside the lip and pull to open.

I have not had this problem (yet). The reason that I bought this model was that the write-up claimed that the lid was "easy to open". I'm disappointed to hear that you are having this problem. If you do get it to open, apply the silicone o-ring lube to the threads also. This will help prevent them from seizing in the future.

Mine has been fine. I haven't been using my computer for heavy tasks though. I'd stay cautious though since it is an enclosed space.

We haven't had any issue, it turns and locks into place and then has a key lock. It would be very difficult to open without the key I believe.

Not that I know. I and my spouse have no problem by unscrewing the lid a quarter turn to release any air when opening.

Mine didn't click but opens pretty smoothly. Did you check for any stuck packing materials? Good luck.

i don't think that is an issue. the case goes on and off with just a snap. i have had mind for a while and it has served me very well. note i have not had occasion to remove my case from the computer but again it appears it should not be that hard or damaging.

No. You still have to open the lid to power up the laptop. You can always close the lid after the fact if you override the power management "lid closure" power setting to "do nothing".

Not me. I have had no problems at all. In fact, I like it better than the previous Incipio case I bought where the hinge went down the long side as opposed to the Stashback where the hinge goes the short direction.

I do not experience such thing, but then I rarely open the hard case off my laptop, so it would not allow any debris to come in between. I have used it for a year, and it is still going strong.

The hinges and case feel pretty strong. When I grab the laptop by one hand to pull it UP out of my back pack the lid does feel a little on the flimsy side because I can feel the pressure from my fingers pushing in on the lid a little bit. When I pull it out of my backpack more "horizontally" it helps since I'm not putting direct finger pressure on the lid. Outside of this I think the lid is fine. All in all I have been pretty happy with this laptop so far.

the bottom corner of the case has a circle screw you need to loosen. that opens the case

No, I haven't had any issues with the power button. I'd suggest taking the soft case off and try putting it back on to make sure the fit is secure.

Hello, be careful, I think my case (the hard part) was broken while I was trying open it.

I had this issue too. I just ended up buying a normal 15" case, and I just a thin piece of foam to keep the computer in place.
