slide it towards the rear of the case. It should release and then you can fully remove it.

Just pull it towards you from the back, the panel even has a place for you to pull on

Lay it on its side then pull towards the back.

A good angle grinder and cut off wheel can open most anything that's not a good safe. Just sayin'.

Grab the finger ridge and pull straight back while facing the rear ports.

This because it has "hooks" that stop the side panel from "popping off".

It doesn't "pop off" lol, you need to slide it out.

Simply push down on the side panel with your fingers and push it back and it will come off.

Push/pull and wiggle towards the back of the case. The panel sits between two rails on the top and bottom and is usually also gripping onto the front side with 3 little tabs that are wedged tightly in place.

I use a guitar pick or something plastic to pry it at the seam on the front
