I have an Otterbox Defender Series for iPhone 6 Plus but cannot remove the cover?

[iMore Question]

I am trying to remove my pink cover so that I can insert my phone. I have loosened the appropriate flaps on my pink cover. The cover is so firm that I can't budge it. Do you use a screwdriver?
Thanks for answering.

Welcome to iMore. I have used an Otterbox like yours in the past and can tell you that the tension clips that hold it shut can be quite tight so it will require some force to open. Do you have someone around with a stronger grip that might be able to help you so that you do not have to resort to a screwdriver. A screwdriver will work though, but I would not exert to much force on the Otterbox as it is a hardened nylon plastic and will break if forced to much. Have seen it happen. Hope my suggestions help you.
