I don't know how to open the cover. It seems to get stuck.

Just grasp on each side at the serrated spots and gently remove. It is easier after you have opened it a few times.

You can notice that the locking tab is at the top and it engages the body in such a way, that if you push the very top of the clear cover DOWN and pull out at the same time, it will come off without too much trouble.

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

I did not have this problem and this was not the reason why I returned the item.

Squeeze on both sides of the cover and pull straight back. Make sure to take the tape off first or the task is very hard.

Just grab the cover at the top by the sides ( thumb and index ) , Jocky forward / backward with one finger then the other rocking cover away from metro . Be sure when replacing that bottom tabs are in place and lined up ...just snap top into position .

The cover is difficult to remove. I am sure that if you are elderly or handicapped in some way it could be nearly impossible to remove.

Just take the bottom and top half and twist. It can be kind of difficult to open, I still struggle with mine.

There is a little hole in the bottom that you have to push with the tip of a paper clip. The cover will then slide up and pull off.

Just be sure you remove the little screws, it should pop right off. There should be one on top and one on each side and a long one on the bottom.(Just remember they're on the back part of the cover!) Hope this helps.

Mind does not do that when I open it up, so I would suggest you contact Amazon Kindle support. If they cannot help maybe you could get the cover people to replace the one you have with a new one.

This has happened to me about 6 times in two years... but I don't know why! I just 'slap' the cover closed & when I re-open it, the problem is solved!! Presto magic-O!

I am not home right now and can't remember, but I think the cover comes off.

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

It's hard to open at the first time, you need try hard to twist the cover counterclockwise, if you open it, it will be much easier to open again.

The cover pops apart easiest at top, just pry it open a little at a time and work your way around the edge.

I don't know either. I tried to keep it open by placing a straight pin in the opening but now I can't get that out either. It is a problem.

I had a few moments myself with the cover. Press your finger down and slide to right or left....presto! The key chamber should appear.

I also have trouble getting the battery cover open. It works best if you pull up at the notch on top with you finger nail while pushing up on the cover.

With the cover unlatched and opened slightly, place fingers on each side of the the cover above the hinge and push forward. Return the cover in reverse.

Mine is a bit tough to open, too. Just make sure you don't have the brown tabs in the "lock" position.
