Just supposing we do get as far as getting the damn thing out using finger-nail, blade, end of ballpoint pen, scissors, teeth, Swiss Army knife, silver toothpick, kitchen knife, scalpel, winkle picker, box cutter and circular saw, any tips on how to remove and replace the liner notes without getting them snagged, torn and crumpled up on those horrid little stubby things that clamp them in place?
Sorry, been out of this for a couple of days, but the easiest way when (as often happens) your fingernail keeps wanting to go between pages 2 and 3 of the booklet rather than between the front of the booklet and the plastic case is to try at the other end instead: grab at the
stapled end of the booklet and bend slightly to slide out at the hinge side of the cover (you'll probably need the thing lying open at a near-180° angle to do this).
