Tips on opening back panel

I own an acer swift 3 SF314-55g and it has an annoying back panel to open as its too tight and there are no gaps to work with. Is there a trick to opening it or is it not even design to be opened?

My Swift 1 has the same problem. I just used a jimmy and worked my way up in size until I could fit a pick in there. Then I worked the pick around the border undoing the clips holding the backplate in place.
