Mate, you're scaring me. There is a notch, specifically there to place your fingernail into (or a blunt and soft tool). You do not need to create a gap! Sorry, I'm not yelling, I'm just trying to make it obvious that there is a purposely made notch to separate the back cover from the phone. It is a bit rigid, but it's all pretty tough, so shouldn't break by you tugging on it.

See this photo, it's on the bottom right of the phone/back cover

I hope this clarifies things
