Use a hammer...a rubber one preferably. Hold the device in your hand and tap along the seams. One of them should pop loose, and you can work along the seam with something like a putty knife or sometimes even your fingernail.

If can't get a seam to pop in your hand, try laying it on the floor or bench. I've had good luck with holding the unit diagonally (lay a corner or edge on the bench) and striking the opposite corner or edge.
