Yay I Have The Official Instinct Protective Cover... But How Do I Remove It?

Here is a link to photos of the case.

Not very much bigger. I actually prefer it with the case on as it fits better in my hand.

I'll admit it was tough to figure out how to get this case off.  Here's how I did it, and I've actually removed it a couple of times pretty easily doing this.

The key is to unlock the top center part first.  The best way to do this is to use something relatively *sharp* or maybe just thin, to pry the top part out, right next to the power button.  It doesn't work so well on the other top opening because of the way it's cut.  Get that top hinge unhooked, the sides are easy, and slip it right off.

I actually bought one package of these for our two phones, since they come with one colored and one clear front.  Then I used auto touch up spray paint to paint the clear one.  Turned out pretty nice.

But these add a lot of bulk and I think I may get a silcone case, and I think I need to get a screen protector.  The worst part about this case is that it would make it SUPER difficult to change the battery.  Hasn't been needed so far though.

This is why I brought mine back.  The case is nice but whats the point in having two batteries if you can't get the cover off to change them. It took me 25 minutes to get the case off without destroying it in the process. So I brought mine back and got the invisiblesheild full body kit.  Still waiting on a replacement back piece casue they negelcted to cut out the camera hole on the one I got.

Those are a pita to remove.  I had to use a sharp knife and 25 minutes worth of patience to get it off in one piece.  I returned it promptly afterwards.
