k, I just got my msp430 (ez430-F2013), and I feel really stupid asking this, but how do you take off the plastic cover of the USB stick? I've spent too long trying to open it and cannot believe I can't open it. I'm afraid to break it; would appreciate a reply asap! Thanks!

Some units must be tighter than others; I found both of mine difficult.

Try twisting a coin/screwdriver in the cutout in the bottom right corner (as
you read the TI logo). There may be a disconcerting *crack* as it comes
loose, but that doesn't mean you've broken anything.

Also, check the caps that are near the slot. Some people were a little agressive in trying to take the case apart and broke those caps.
