Here's a hint: be sure that you have removed your programmer ("reset") switch
before you try to take the case apart. Assuming you have...sometimes the 
cases are really really tight; others come apart quite easily. There is a
tool that looks sorta like a "clipboard" type clip... you put the lips of it
into the crack and squeezing the handles togther pries the case apart.
However, I, like Chaz, just hold mine face down over the bed and shake.
P.S. Don't hold it very FAR over the bed, unless you want an adrenaline
rush when it finally comes unstuck.
