They just pop off. There's not really a special to do it other than slowly. Just be careful. If the clips break glue them. I put my pieces back on with one broken piece ( which I was not happy about) but they still fit together and stayed fastened with no issues. Message me if you are concerned and I will send you pics of the clips to give you and idea of how they connect. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
