Plastic slip cover so hard to take off!

[JDW]

Ian, your tip seems to be for removing the cover when it is locked on the BACK of the calculator (when the calculator is in use), but I am talking about when the cover is placed over the LCD (when you store the calculator).

My own trick for removing the evil slip-cover when it is on the BACK of the calculator (when the calculator is in use) is an easy trick. You just DO NOT LOCK the slip cover.

But when you want to store the calculator, if you don't lock the cover over the LCD, it might slip off. So you really need to lock it down. But when it's locked, it's locked hard. And getting that slip cover off when it's locked over the face (LCD) of the calculator is a real nightmare even for me.

Thankfully, I thought ahead and purchased a soft case for the Prime. I was thinking that IN ADDITION TO the plastic slip cover, the soft case would add extra protection needed when a calculator is thrown into a backpack full of books and who knows what. If my daughter just stops using the slip cover completely, and relies on the soft case, then there is no problem unless she really bangs the calculator around. It would be best to have the slip cover on with the soft case too, which is why I posted my inquiry. It just boggles my mind how difficult this cover is to remove when locked!
