Am I the only one struggling to take these things apart? Any suggestions would be appreciated! I managed to unscrew everything except the screws for PCB standoff and I still can't slide or pop the cover off. Do I also need to unscrew the screws holding the PCB standoff? These screws seem somewhat tighter and didn't want to risk stripping it.

You would have to flex the case outward at the bottom a little bit to get around the board. If you unscrew the PCB standoffs from the base and slide the whole innards out the front, the case would come free without issue. There's a planned board revision for the next batch that addresses heatsink screws and also ease of [dis]assembly.
