How do you open it? I saw tips on opening it from the bottom, but I bet the manufacturer put more logic in the opening from the top.

The best way I have found to open these containers is to pinch the tab attached and pull directly up. If that doesn't work, I push the small connecting tabs down with one half of a tweezers or a sharp knife, then pull up on the tab.

There are two small tabs inside that you pull up on. That removes small piece of the plastic enabling you to remove a small amount of powder s you need it and the slide it closed when not in use so if the container gets flipped accidently there is not a ton of powder that could fall out when you unscrew the top for the next use.

I had trouble with this as well and finally cut the plastic off completely. I never had this issue in the past. Why they changed the packaging I wish I knew....annoying !!!

I've used a butter knife between the bottom of the lid and the side of my thumb to pry it open. Just be careful not to spill it everywhere!

They're right. I find pushing the button on the side of the lid, then flip down the metal clip like device, flip up the top and you are ready to go. Now the thing on the bottom is a pain and fairly useless but I guess they had to go that extra step. I like it a lot, Don't get me wrong. The sleek design makes it less conspicuous and fits in cup holders pretty good. Let us know how it turns out. Peace...

There are 2 ways to empty it. There's a clip on the bottom you can open and empty and the top unlatches and twists off to empty as well. I prefer using the top approach.

There is a clip inside that engages when you open . You need to pull it to the side with a fingernail as you are closing it back up.

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

When I received mine I could not open it either. I returned to Amazon immediately. I would call Amazon customer service for advice.

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!!!

There should be a small hole on the bottom (middle of the bottom)...we inserted an unfolded paperclip and wiggled until it opened. We had trouble with this too and also wondered why there were no tools/instructions included...Sorry I can't be more helpful!!

You can open it but it's very complicated and the bottom part broke off last time we tried.

Same here; frustrating it does not open even with thorough cleaning and fresh batteries; I'm thinking of returning to step lever to open lid. How hard is that?

Well, you need to put significant force to open it. I have that problem too. Now I just don't close it tight so it can be easily opened.

I agree when the lid is completely shut it is difficultto open I have used the tip of a table knife and slid it under the edge to gently pop it open. When I take it with me out of the house I don't push the lid down all the way.

mine opened very easily--just tried again. turn it counter clockwise --push to the right where it says open

yeah, a little tricky. There's a small tab to the left, just move it out a little and the compartment will open up. Others have had the same problem.

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.
