    • How do we open this? Rip it open? No... As tempting as that is there must be a more elegant way...

    • iFixit tools are elegant right? Use a iFixit Opening Tool to do the trick. mostly in the back corners.

    • The cover seems to pop back with nothing holding it. I used a screw from the router to hold it.

    • only popping the back corners does not appear to be enough.

    • The front area seems stronger, and it feels like it may snap my opening tool. onto the big guns!
