    • Gently lift the rear casing from the device.

    The Astro Mixamp Pro is largely the same process as this, except there are some plastic tabs on the rear casing holding it onto the front plate. Carefully work along the seams on the long sides and the corners with something flat and stiff, gently levering the rear housing out and away from the front plate to disengage the plastic tabs. With enough patience and care, they'll pop out of their spots and the casing will be free.
