The way I put mine on is I lay my hand flat on the screen and turn it upside down. I then use my other hand to push each section gently in till it snaps. This may not work so well for others as I have gigantic hands so lots of surface area. I just nead the snaps with my fingers till they click in so I apply the minimum pressure to the device. I would fear too much pressure if I tried to make them "all" snap in all at once.
VERY poor design but I guess its the only real way to do it. I would have preferred a ZIF style socket that you can "lock" with a twist. It could not "untwist" when closed so nothing to worry about. This would also allow for interesting DOCKING possibilities. I would love to double stick a "lock ring" above my head in the camera (bunk overhangs the main bed) I could then insert and twist and lock my ebook to the ceiling above my head (only about 12 inches from my face which is about perfect)
While I could do that now I would not trust having to remove and reinsert this HIF socket so many times.
Hmmm gets me wondering. Might be possible to Modify the sock into a ZIF style socket I could then mold my own "docks" to fit into the socket. The trick is whether alumilite is as strong as the plastic used now :-)
I just might have to test this. I think I can play with it in a non destructive manner too.
