    I don't like how the screen slams shut, and I don't like how when opening it your fingers can be all over the camera. How do you safely open it?

    Aside from wearing gloves, or using a microfiber cloth or similar, it's difficult.

    I take my fingers and softly lift the lid, sometimes using both hands to be careful, it really isn't difficult. :rolleyes:

    I lift via the metal plates. No mess with the screen whatsoever.

    I am also working on the jedi mind trick to open it. Keep ya posted with the results.
