how do you detach the connection in the middle on the lower side, the where the logo is positioned?
i can get all the other ones to detach just this little magnet or hatch doesnt want to detach. i tried poking a pick and a screwdriver beneath it, they just started scratching of material from the backplatte. I would be grateful if you could tell me how i can detach that last piece. look forward to it!
