It would be really helpful if you could show more detail on how the backing is attached to the device, what the latching mechanism looks like in detail, and how to separate it. The technique in the photos might work on a device that has been opened a hundred times before, but on a new one, this guide doesn’t really help me to understand how to open the device.

I couldn't get the back cover off with the tool for the life of me. I wound up using a small flathead screwdriver and gently rubber hammering it in at an angle near the lower left of the raised panel, where it appears there aren't any components to damage. Once one clip is off the rest come off pretty easy with the tool.
