various tricks to open the pinephone
#1
What are the various tricks you have to open the pinephone?
In specific, to separate the back cover from the front "brick"
a crack.  [Once I get started, the rest is easy.]

I used to be able to open it.  I have not opened it for over
4 months, so dust, etc, probably settle inside.

The methods I am aware of

1.
Hold the phone upside down, facing your heart.  Put your
right fingernail in the slot and pull toward your right
shoulder.

2.
Hold the phone upside down, facing your heart.  Put a
credit card in the slot and zip right, pulling alittle.

3.
Turn the phone upside down and over, facing desk.  Put
a credit card in the slot.  Slide leftward and pull.
i

Are there any way to clean the slot with the cover on?  I
tried rubbing alcohol and q-tip.

Thank in advanced for any help.
