The best way to get your case off is to accidentally drop it on the ground. That's the only time it painlessly comes off for me, which is incredibly convenient. I'm probably never going to buy another Seidio case because of this.
Yeah, it definitely takes some determined prying, especially at the parts where the prong snaps are. It's a nice-looking case and adds little bulk, but ugh, every time I take mine off, it feels (and sounds) like it's going to break. This case is not for the faint-hearted.
