You have in front of the x360 clips that just come off easily, however for the ones at the back you need to use the flathead screwdriver, by pushing you'll hear a click for each slot, then you'll do a slight twist (turning) to the right or left on the first and last clips, your shell comes off without difficulty, above all don't force it!
