2. Rigid Hard Plastic Cases

1. Locate the seam where the top and bottom parts meet.
2. Use your thumb to push one of the bottom corners inwards.
3. Once the corner is released, carefully work the plastic away from the device.
4. Move to the opposite corner and repeat the process.
5. Once both bottom corners are free, lift the iPad out of the top part.

3. Leather & Folio Keyboard Cases

1. Open the folio cover and lay it flat on a surface.
2. Start with the corner opposite the hinge. Gently pull the inner shell away from the iPad.
3. Work your way around each corner, being careful not to overbend the leather.
4. Once all corners are released, slide the iPad out from the side of the case.

 

4. Rugged Heavy-Duty Cases

1. Lay the case flat and identify any clips or latches around the edges.
2. Unclip any securing tabs, usually found on the bottom or side.
3. Gently pry the front and back layers apart using your fingers.

General Safety Tips

• Avoid sharp objects: Never use knives, screwdrivers or keys to pry the case open.
• Work on a soft surface: Place your iPad on a towel or cloth to prevent scratches.
• Take your time: Rushing can lead to cracked corners or scratches.
• Check for obstructions: Ensure no cables or accessories are connected before removal.
