Customer Review: Not so bad
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this case despite the complaints about the aluminum door, and quickly discovered that using the thumb of one hand to pull back on the black edge of the case while using the thumbnail of the other hand to open the door made this necessary task easy, although I did have a few moments of frustration before figuring out the proper method.
The hardest method is to grasp the case firmly in the left hand, with the thumb pressing against the aluminum hinge, or in the right hand, with the fingertips similarly pressing on the hinge, and then try to lift the cover with the other hand. Beating your head against the wall and cursing may help when using these hand positions, although they may seem natural.
The hinge must be free to slide to the left slightly, whereupon the two tiny metal tabs which comprise the latch almost disengage themselves. This makes for some slightly awkward hand positions but, trust me, it works.
My own method is to grasp the case from the bottom using my right hand, with the thumb pulling back on the black edge of the case, and then place the forefinger and pinkie of my left hand at the very top and bottom of the hinge side, on the black plastic, while sliding and lifting the cover with the thumbnail of the left hand, using the indentation provided.
This works like a charm, although the position of the left hand is strangely reminiscent of Spiderman when he shoots out his web.
For those with less dexterity, one might *carefully* use a tool (I tried the handle end of a metal nail file) to lift the door. Be very careful not to scratch the screen.
As the case is used, opening the door becomes steadily easier as the parts "settle in."
Describing the case as "aluminum" is a bit of a stretch, since the case is actualy a durable rigid plastic with an aluminum cover for the screen and an aluminum double-hinged mechanism which allows the cover to be neatly folded back behind the case and allows access to the voice memo and page orientation buttons on the left side of the case.
On the whole, it seems well-designed and I haven't encountered any need to remove the LifeDrive from its case for any function. There's even a tiny access hole provided for resetting the unit.
