Grip one side of the controller firmly.
Insert an opening pick into the crease between the faceplate and the body of the controller.
Once the pick creates a gap in the crease, gently insert another pick into a different section of the crease.
Carefully move the picks along the controller's crease line until you hear a popping sound.
Gently lift off the faceplate by hand.
