Thanks! I removed the black plastic pads and unscrewed the screws that were revealed (three in the front and four in the back). It looks like the back side is attached with five clips. I can easily unclip the side with three clips, but the two clips on the other side are stuck. It also seems like the two white strips with the buttons and microUSB port should come off, but they won't budge. Am I missing a step or are they just really hard to take off?

Edit: the white strips are attached to the back side, and were just really hard to take off. I can now confirm that the tablet is easy to pry open.
