IQ Removing case IQ

Hi, saw in the rooting IQ thread a screenshot of the back of the it without its case on, I'd be curious if someone could explain how to safely remove the back without damaging any clips etc?

Thanks

extremely easy to do:

1. Look at the right side of your IQ (the volume buttons side) toward the bottom. You see a little opening between the silver wrap around and the back cover.

2. tape up the end of a flat screwdriver or pocket knife etc with green tape or whatever tape you want so that you won't scratch up the IQ.

3. turn the device over with the screen facing down on something soft ( I use the included cover)

4. slide the screwdriver into the opening and gently lift up along the edge. the tabs holding the cover will release.

5. continue to pop the cover tabs all along the edges one by one until the cover comes off.

I used a credit card for 4. (an old one, obviously) instead of a screwdriver, it works fine and it will not damage the cover.
