Depending on the case, there should be a coin slot (usually on the bottom left or right) where the front and back snap together.

Yes... I've tried it.... The side with the coin slot opens but the rest is stuck tightly. BTW... I'm talking about a hard case cover & not the device case itself.

Body Glove hardshell armor? Twist a coin in the slot (like opening a tin of pipe tobacco) and spread apart gently from the slot with zee fingers. Pop.

No... it's a hard plastic cover I bought a mall kiosk.... I wish it was as easy as just popping it open. The side with the coin slot is loosening easy... but the rest is stuck. Thanks for the advice, though.

Take it back to where you got it and get them to take it off. If THEY break it....

I tried... I was told that that's not part of their service. Besides that... I'm more worried about having someone (or me) damage the device.

I created an account on here just to respond to your question. I found your question when I googled how to remove a hard case. Mine was stuck, and I figured out how to get it off.
I put a dime in the coin slot, and twisted it, then I started rolling it up the crack until it wouldn't go any further and twisted again. It finally popped right off once I got to the top corner. Hope this help you!
