How do you open it? I saw tips on opening it from the bottom, but I bet the manufacturer put more logic in the opening from the top.

The best way I have found to open these containers is to pinch the tab attached and pull directly up. If that doesn't work, I push the small connecting tabs down with one half of a tweezers or a sharp knife, then pull up on the tab.

There are two small tabs inside that you pull up on. That removes small piece of the plastic enabling you to remove a small amount of powder s you need it and the slide it closed when not in use so if the container gets flipped accidently there is not a ton of powder that could fall out when you unscrew the top for the next use.

I had trouble with this as well and finally cut the plastic off completely. I never had this issue in the past. Why they changed the packaging I wish I knew....annoying !!!

Hi, it can be a little awkward to open. On the handle side (not the hinge side) under the handle there is a stand, the the handle which is longer has a lip ( Make sure you hold the handle at the tip), then pull the bottom, where the stand is away from the handle that juts out a little farther. Hope this helps

I initially thought it was stuck in the closed position, a defect. It was very difficult at first, but you need to turn it to the open position. Now it opens and closes easily.

There is a button on the bottom of the back. Just press it in with fingernail and it pops open.

You have to take it apart. Unbolt it from the bottom. Fairly labor-intensive, but it works.

There is a fairly obvious little "door" at the top (if the iron is upright) of the iron that flips down when you open it. It was quite hard to open the first few times. I was scared I would break it, but a friend's husband used the brute force method and yanked it open.

On the bottom where the body joins there is a gap you can pry with a flat screwdriver, the thing opens up, be careful

There are 2 ways to empty it. There's a clip on the bottom you can open and empty and the top unlatches and twists off to empty as well. I prefer using the top approach.

its a little tricky but you just pull down on the top. Its just that it really sticks the first few times. I was afraid I was going to break mine but a brave friend just pulled hard and it opened. Good luck!

There is a clip inside that engages when you open . You need to pull it to the side with a fingernail as you are closing it back up.

It's easy just push hard and it will open! Pls read the directions on the box! Thanks

I read the previous answers but couldn't figure out to open it. My husband did. Wish I could post a photo showing it off/open & on/closed. The entire top that flares out (a darker plastic piece) comes off. Use your thumbs to push it up & off. Don't use a tool like I did! I broke off a small chunk trying to pry it open.

It's really hard! I've found that pushing it sideways with my thumbnail rather than trying to pull it open (the way it LOOKS like it should work!) will get it to pop open easiest. Otherwise, prying it open with a butterknife is the easiest on your hands.

To open the top, you have to press the button. The bottom has a stopper on each side so you can lock it. This allows you to have it only open one way instead of both, if you want.

I tried to open and close the lid when it is empty. I had to use booth of my thumbs to push it open. I am not sure what is the best solution other than a different design.

There is a key in the box it is black plastic with 2 tabs on it put it into the holes on the back of the unit and turn till it opens. You may need to pry it with your fingernail.

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.
