How the heck are you guys doing it without breaking it?
What works well for me is to slip a finger nail under the clear (front) section in the cutout for the Mute button (top left). Gently pull the clear up and forward (gently), and then the top left corner should release. I then repeat the step on the left side cutout for the headphone/USB port. At this point removal of the clear face should be possible.

Keep in mind all of this is done gently, and if you feel like you are pulling too hard - STOP. I have had two cases and one was far easier to remove than the other. Also, I would advise against removing a case when the case is cold (below 40xxx730; F), the plastic will be far less forgiving.
