iClear for touch problems

[paran]

I was lucky to get the last one from the Bestbuy, and I totally loved the case
UNTIL TODAY.
When you guys try to get rid of the case from iPod touch,
you guys are supposed to use the coin on the bottom notch and twist it so that the front/back of the case is separated.

When I try mine, it doesn't work that well.
It's on my touch right now, and I'm trying to open the case by using a coin, it's TOO TIGHT that it makes me really hard to open the case.
Thus, it got deformed in the notch area because I applied too much power to open the case, but without applying too much power, they wouldn't separate.
I wonder if it's just mine, but I think it's for everyone.

Anyone has the similar problem?

I was gonna try to do it but then I got scared it might fly outta my hands. I'll try when I get my Reflect to see if they mix and match [comes in Thursday!]

Resolution: Use a credit card. First open it slightly, then insert the credit card into the front of the ipod and move it around the edges until you can pry it off. Just installed my invishield, lets hope everything becomes A-OK.

I'm trying the creit card but the plastic looks like it's turning white I'm afraid of breaking it after just getting it!

Here's how I was able to take the case off without damaging either:

- Grab a nickel and a credit card
- Hold the ipod between your knees (unless you have more than 2 hands)
- Put the nickel in the small cutout next to the headphone port (or is it the dock connector?)
- Twist slightly: this will create a very small gap just above it
- Slide the credit card into that very small gap (the card barely goes below the surface)
- Continue to slide the card toward the top of the case
- Split the front and back parts
- Viola... hopefully
