How to get the cover off Nokia E71 to remove dust

Is there a good way to pry off the front cover so that you can dust off the screen underneath. Worried about cracking some connectors if I go about it the wrong way. Pretty tight fit and not sure if it is designed to be taken off.

Thanks! (Feel really stupid.....)

Good photo guide. Note: you will need one of those special octagonal screwdrivers (the tiny ones) to undo the screws in the second picture

"special octagonal screwdrivers" - it's called Torx - the size in that case was T4 ;-)
