Brett,
Actually, it's not so bad once you know that you have to press on the top
part of the cover to release it. I know what you mean, though. I struggled
with it for quite a while before I figured out how to open it easily. I'd
rather have it a little difficult to open than having it fall off
unexpectedly. Besides, there isn't much need to open it anyway.
Steve
