I really have trouble to pull up the rubber part... is there a switch or just my problem?

There was no trick that I know of. I don't have it with me or I would take a look. You may need to get replacement. I'm really happy with mine and I've tried quite a few.

At the valve/pressure gauge end there is a 1/2 inch diameter gray ring about 1/2 an inch long. This is the bit that is held fairly tightly into the black plastic tube. Hold the black tube in your left hand and pull on the valve/gauge with the other hand. A slight anticlockwise twist seems to help

This was an issue for me as well. You have to twist then pull apart. It is quite hard at times.

There should be a button on the handle. You have to hold it down continuously.

You do just pull. I rotated mine first...like if you were unscrewing it...then gently but firmly pulled holding the black part closest to the main body. It was snug but still didn't take a whole lot to free it. Hope this helps.

You really just push the little handle by the compartment and pull on it. I assume you don't have long nails, because that would be the only way to pull it.

Just grip onto where the wheel is and pull and twist. It's hard to get open the first time

Just pull HARD! I thought I was missing part of the instructions, because the handle would not easily open and had to google this myself. Just pull HARD. It won't break, but you think it's going to.

Hi Dr. Mark it is really hard to do it. I was unable to do it. I had to have my brother come and help me and try to figure it out. He was able to do it but then just last week after one week of it staying on it fell down. I wish I could help you with it but you just need to turn it and then it is suppose to hold. The directions are very poor so it does not help much. Sorry.

Grasp! Then pull -up. Mine had what I thought was a hidden button after I broke the tip look around the top good.

Hi Doris. Its a lil tricky but I use my palm to slide the little panel on the front bottom, down. Or you can try using both thumbs. Good luck.

I was having the having the same problem when I first got my case. What I did was cut slits in the rubber on the two long sides of the button , so that rubber button has more room and freedom to move. Worked for me

It is hard to get off for sure, I just kept on trying and trying and wore a rubber glove to get a better grip and eventually got it off. Good luck!

That's funny because I had the same question! I tried and tried but could not figure out how to get the darn thing open!!!

I have large hands and I found the only way I could get it off was to hold the base in my left hand and twist the cover with my right (takes a lot of strength, like you are opening a pickle jar, etc.) It took me several minutes, but it did come off. Sorry, that's probably not helpful, but maybe if you used a gripper (like you would use to open jars, etc.) to help hold it in place, it might help. I ended up returning mine b/c I had so many issues with it, least of which was the difficulty in getting it apart.

Although it seems counter intuitive, you just have to pull and then it will click into place. It makes you think you will break it, but it is just hard to pull.

Hi David! The easiest way that I do it is to pull the release clip to the front of me. I can get it open easier that way. Hope this helps!

You twist it counter-clockwise and pull, but as I recall I had to bang it on the floor a few times the first time I extended it. If that doesn't work, I would contact the manufacturer. Good luck.
