Pocket Box Issues

[mstlaurent]

So, went to start with Melee this morning, with the Pocket Box edition. Is it just me, or is the pocket box really difficult to open? I spent three or four minutes trying to open it by hand, finally had to get a butter knife and wedge it into the crack and pry it open. It got closed again, tried to open it a second time, figured I would try along the short side thinking that would make it easier, and this time instead of opening the corner of the lid cracked off. Am I just completely daft and missing something obvious?
