Bad bootloader flash - how to disassemble case? #78

I tried to upgrade my bootloader from OpenBootloader to UF2. Unfortunately, the device is dead now, i.e. no LED activity, no USB device, nothing. I do have an SWD programmer at hand, but how do I disassemble the case it's in!?

OK, I used too little force. The case seems glued or welded together, with the help of a pry tool I was finally able to open the case.
