Opening the Back of Phone

Hey Guys,

I really struggle everytime (eventually I do succeed) I try to remove the back cover of the Phone to take out either the battery or the card. Is there any trick to open it. I followed the instruction to push the cover up using the thumb but I literally take more than 5 minutes to open it

Just palm it and it'll come off easy.

here's a video showing a easy way to do it. make sure to always remove the stylus first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md_5n8XZWbo

remove the stylus
slide off from the right hand corner using your thumb

I simply hold it in my hand with my four fingers flat on the front-side, and using my thumb push against the bottom of the R/H corner

Thanks all. Will try the suggestions.

It's easy, unless you have only one hand. The harder part is remembering to remove the stylus. I forgot one too many times, and noticed my back cover has a crack now by the hole. No biggie, I guess I may get a new one some day if it becomes an issues, but I suspect I'll have to do an insurance claim somewhere among the line.
