The main place where you have to be careful is when opening the side of
the case where the interconnect port is. *Always* start unsnapping the
case from the battery end, then work your way up towards the other end.
You'll eventually get to the point where you have three or four snaps
left (next to the power switch, to the sides of the interconnect port
area), and they're hard to get. The best method is to try to push, pull
and lift on the free, unsnapped end of the case while gently prying with
your screwdriver - This has worked well for me and shouldn't break the
clasps.
Of course, YMMV.
