Opening the Area 51 case?

I just got a new Area 51 and I cannot get the case open. I pull up on the latch at the top but the sides will not come off. Is there some trick that I am missing. From looking at a youtube video, you should just be able to lift up on the latch and pull the side off. That is not happening, is there some other release that needs to be done first?

Remove the screw in between the latches.

That did the trick! I figured it was something simple.

Thanks

Aurora R5 and R6 also have a tiny black screw on the latch.

 

Apart from keeping curious people out, I think it's mainly to prevent latches from opening during shipping.

Take the screw out and then push the lever left then you should be able to open your case.
