Disassembling the miniPCC

[analog]

First of all, you don't need to.
I was looking to see if there is room in there to mod it to hold more cartos, and there isn't.

But if you want to get inside it for some reason, do NOT just go to prying on it like I did at first. It has two screws holding it together that are underneath the sliding lid. It's relatively easy to get to them if you want to though.

• Hold your miniPCC in your hand right side up, and open it like normal.
• Rotate it 90* counter clockwise so the slots for the ecig are now on the left side.
• From the bottom of the sliding door, press toward you with your finger right underneath the battery charging icons.
• While pressing toward you, slide that side of the slide past it's catch (like you're opening it further).
• Repeat this manuever with your finger underneath the bloog logo, press toward yourself and slide the door past it's catch on that side. (Note, you might have gotten both catches in one move making this step unnecessary)
• Hold the body of the case, slide the door as far open as it goes, and then rotate the door clockwise. You will feel some resistance, but with just a little pressure the door will pop loose and rotate freely on it's spring hinge thingy.
• You now have access to the two screws, remove them and the top of the case then separates readily from the 3 "clips" along the top edge.

Disclaimer, I didn't actually do this on the bloog miniPCC. I have the one from the other guy cuz I was too impatient to wait for restocks, and bloog's pricing structure was forcing me to part out my kit anyway. I believe the cases to be identical other than the logo.

Just thought I'd share before someone goes prying away and breaks their case, yes I could post pictures, but if you have one, it should be pretty simple when you have it in your hand and know how.

I'm confused.. if there's no room to mod, then why would anyone want to take it apart?

They probably won't, maybe to fix something? Or there could be cosmetic mods. Or.... who knows.
I was more thinking that as long as it was posted, then nobody would break it trying, like I almost did before I found the hidden screws.
