But you did say Pretty Please in the Karma content box... OK, I'll try. But I have to make a white background because all surfaces here are dark. And fix the pictures for uploading. And resize them. And....
*sigh*
The troubles I go through to appease the women of this world. Ah well. Here you go. Because you asked so nicely.
But I didn't remove any dust. So there. Grmpff. <== (Exaggerated manly grunt)
01. Open, inside.
02. Open, outside.
03. Open, Kindle seated.
04. See? No closing magnet. (Better when lying down.)
If you have strong hands and not too much feeling in your thumbs, you may be able to get the Kindle out by bending one of the corners. Being or becoming a construction worker may be of some help in acquiring said hands.
Using a prying tool is much faster though.
I didn't have one, but I do have a box of paperclips. Being an engineer, I often think up wacky solutions. So, I wrapped a paperclip in 2 inch of thin transparent tape, so the clip doesn't damage the Kindle. This can be used as a prying tool.
Pardon me for the bad close-up pictures. Depth-of-field is not too large, and the pictures may have movement blur. I do not have a tripod, because I normally don't use that, and don't take these kind of pictures.
05. Prying Tool (Home made):
06. Insert it between the Kindle and case, at the top:
07. Slide it to the left corner (easiest to bend with my case):
08. Apply some leverage, and the Kindle pops out:
Now you *can* use your thumbs to bend the lower left corner, and it'll pop off easily.
PS: Would please fix that epic typo in the text you quoted?
"It
veels very compact and dense." It makes me want to pronounce that sentence using a stereotypical German accent.
