I find it hard to open. You have to pry the two halves apart to get the clip to release. Am I missing something?

I like that it is tight when trying to open it in comparison to other products I've tested were my iPad has come opened and or flew away. Here's what works for me. I take my thumb and nail and place it next to latch to push up on iPad and rest of fingers and nails to push down on keyboard part. Let me know if that helps.

I should have included that in my review. An improved latch would be good. I don't think you're missing anything; it is not easy to open. But, I kind of like the solid feel that gives the case.

Set the case on your lap with the hinge down.Put your fingers on the edge of the lower half of the case (keyboard side) pull down, then open. It opens right up, and you won't loosen the latch to where it does not hold. This is one of the strong suits of this case for me. I've had others which resulted in screen scratching due to the case not holding in a travel bag.

At first my case was the same way. After a few times opening and closing I can now open it easily with a flick of a finger. Hope this helps!

Hi Mark, it was like that for me when I first received it. I have had it for 4 days and either it is easier or I've gotten the hang of it.

I had to return mine for the same reason. The keyboard worked nice but had to work too hard to get the case open. I was disappointed because I really wanted the keyboard case.

I just hold the keyboard side still and pull the right side out a little until the silver metal shoes, then you are good to go to flip it. It took a bit getting used to at first.

I had the same problem at first, but after reading that others open it easily I tried again and found that it is best to open it from the corner, don't try to open it near the "clip." Now I, too, can open it with a "flick of a finger" as Beth responded earlier.

When you hear a couple clicks while pulling it out you should be able to release and it will lock. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get it in the right spot. It must be in the click stage to lock.

At one end, there is a little "slot" look like you can put the edge of a coin or butter knife to pry open. I just used my finger nail & didn't have any problems.

Mine opened just not easily. I held the unit in both hands and pressed in the direction of the arrow with both thumbs. It required more pressure than I expected. Good luck!

i'm having trouble opening it as well. Please let me know how you end up opening it. Thanks!

You just gotta keep twisting it and it will pop open. I had the difficult time trying to open it as well. :) hope this helps.

The clips are large and easy to grab, but they are a little stiff and need some strength to press them together to open the clip. I used it on a trip, so I only used it a few times. I don't know if they would become easier with use.

It should open vary easily by grasping crossways with your fingers, pulling one section down and one section up. It comes apart when my two year old grabs it so maybe your has a defect and it is stuck, if you can't get it apart.

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

You have to use something like a slotted screwdriver or a large coin to pry it open at one of the side slots, be a bit careful because there's a rubber gasket right between the two halves.

You have to grab the end and pull while pressing down on the little yellow lock tab in the pocket clip. You can also use pliers to squeeze it while sliding the cover back. It is not easy that's for sure. Two triple A batteries are required.

Just check youtube on how to open it so you don't break it.It's very east once you get the hang of it.

The retaining clip pinches to open. You can squeeze the one side with needle nose pliers and pry the other side with a screw driver. I have also used a small screwdriver to push in one sde, pry up with another screwdriver at the same time and then try to push in the other side of the clip. It gets easier the more times you have to replave the cables.

I had a difficult time getting it open the first time too. Try giving it a slight twist rather than pulling it straight off. It's still rather tight, but does come off better now.

Try prying it open with a screwdriver or a butterknife.try pressing it down then pry up.

Brute force. Rotate the clips up with two hands. Try wedging a dime in the bottom of the clip as a lever. It gets easier
