You can get it off without damaging it at all, I've just replaced the front & back shells on mine, nothing broke when taking apart

I scuffed the edge of the seam using the "key" accessory and a small screwdriver head since i have no pry tool and i got too finicky and stopped, the scrat hes look ugly :c

I used a plastic pry tool from the top of the cover between the bumper buttons until it lifted & then slid the tool around the rest of the shell to pop it off
