Help with battery!

Hi,
My pinephone64 arrived today and it looks very, very cool but...I can't get the back off so I can get at the battery! I apparently need to do this to remove a piece of place over the contacts.
I found the little 'notch' on the corner, but can't work out what to do with it. I've tried pulling the front/back bits apart with my finger nail, pushing in with the tip of blunt knife (ala iphone 'pin' mechanism) but so far nothing except for some sore fingernails. I'm pretty sure I'll end up scratching the thing to death in the process of getting it open - it seems to be a talent of mine - but I just thought I'd check first to see if I'm missing something obvious.
Bye!
