I build computers for a living, and I have to open this sort of packaging on a regular basis. I recommend using a pair of sheetmetal cutters. I am not joking. Sharp scissors work, but that plastic is still strong. I use sheetmetal cutters to cut the outer "seam" edge off, then the whole thing opens easily. This is the easiest and safest way to open this type of package, that I have found.

You're supposed to cut that sh*t dumba$$, it's your own fault.



The plastic is not tough at all, the plastic encasing 360 faceplates is some of the weakest I've come across.

Sorry to hear about another victim to the most horrible packaging idea ever created (you buy something... you're supposed to be able to get it OUT and USE it).



I'm 32 years old...and not an idiot around a pair of scissors. Still...one mistake with a pair of the new near-impenetrable plastic packaging (it was headphones this time), and I've got a beauty of a scar running down the centre (bottom side) of my middle finger.



That stuff split my finger in two down to the bone. I hate hospitals, so I squeezed my finger together tight and wrapped an abundance of bandaids around it. Thankfully, without stitches (all those first aid courses paid off!) my finger is back to normal. Except for that 3 inch long scar.



Whoever made that packaging... I'd like to show 'em my middle finger. Pun TOTALLY intended.

I hate these packaging! They will really cut you up if you're not careful. And no, scissors don't work 100%. If you use a brand new scissors it will cut easily but you'll injure yourself if you're not careful. Sometimes I used dishwasher gloves to protect myself. Retailers are morons. Most electronics now adays comes with these packaging including all Xbox360 accessories. We can make advances in technology but look how it delivers to consumer. Injury insults. I detest idiots that design the packaging. We should all sue them.

What kind of incompetent fool could possibly manage to cut himself on this stuff? Maybe if you try to tear it open with your hands, but with scissors? Damn, it's not even very hard to open, but fuggin injure yourself? Wow, just wow

Love these intelligent conversations. (Yes, I'm talking about you...posters 8, 9 and 10)



You need serious help speaking in public... til you can fix that, we don't care what you have to say.

Right, because you added a lot to the conversation didn't you? Kill yourself.

Just take the ultimate >>BONE-SCISSOR

....a razor blade works fine on these things, i use them all the time at wal-mart and target to take the ***** out of packages so i dont get caught with the security strip going off.

It's really not that hard at all to open, you're just not doing it right. I have some scissors from the dollar store and I open these up in 1 minute. Sure, they are less convienent than a cardboard box, but 10 minutes of your time to open them, with tin cutters? Not unless you are mentally challenged.
