What a pain! I don't have any nails and you need them to open the back. Don't want to use a knife or key out of fear of scratching it. Whoever designed this... must have been a woman.

All in all though, so far I am mostly impressed. Internet still slow but faster than before. Resets much quicker. Bummed that 75% of my apps aren't available on OS7 yet. Keyboard is loud (but otherwise great). But still pretty good device.

Don't bite your nails!

Yeah I was afraid of breaking the back door the first time I was trying to open it. It's sort of ridiculous but the phone is amazing!

Where were you 30 years ago?

That reminds me to leave one fingernail long for this purpose.

Use a dime, or a paper clip (still rounded, not straightened), if they fit. It'll loosen after a few removals.

I've found the best option is a credit card -- won't scratch anything, seems to work.

I concure with the OP...although having a battery back TO loose is a pain...I was loading apps all day yesterday and did NO battery pull. The re-boot is fast AND your good ole 3 finger friend (alt+aA+del) is great with this keyboard

Seriously. I had to call customer service, who looked in the manual and told me to press the center in and slide it down!!!!! (DON'T, btw!!!)

I did find if you sort of pry it from the side of that indent instead of the middle of it, it pops off easier.
