How to open the back of Trackr Pixel
I have arthritic hands and the YouTube video (https://youtu.be/eNQNNUCk6GA) they have to open shows you to open it between your palms. I've talked their support staff and they insist that is the way to open it. I asked if their was a tool to open it and they told me no. I even had my next door neighbor who is much younger and stronger couldn't open it. I was wondering if anyone knows another way to open it to get to the battery?
Questa è una buona domanda?

as an aircraft mechanic i had the same problem. remedy, put the two sided sticker on the back and use your finger/ thumb on the sticker and it opens easy. you may ruin the adhesive but you have the battery out.
Recommendation to tracker: put an alignment arrow on the back because putting it back on can be difficult to align. also, put a coin slot on the back, not expensive improvement to make. :)

Poor design. How about putting something like a slight slot in the back where a penny or nickel would get enough grip to open it???
Okay, Here is how I got it open.
Duct Tape (Gorilla Tape in my case). Tear off a piece about the size as the Trackr Pixel, say .75" or so. The duct tape itself is the "normal" 2" kind.. So now you have a piece that roughly measures .75"x2". Stick it to the face of the Trackr Pixel so that the Trackr Pixel is covered and most of the tape is hanging off. Now make another one the same size as before and stick it to the other side of the Track Pixel but with the excess pointing the opposite of the first piece.
Now, simply pull, in a twisting motion, the two pieces in opposite directions making sure the piece of Duct Tape on the back is being pulled in the "open" direction and the Trackr Pixel will open.
No pressure (Squeezing) needed to open it.
Kinda looks like this with the tape on it:

Good Luck!

Totally stupid design. It's amazing that such a thing ever goes into production when it is so obviously flawed. How about a slot such that a coin can be used to open the frigging thing. To clever for its own good

Leather gloves can help too :D

Actually, using your palms, like the instructions say works like a charm. You don't need any pressure, For extra traction, I use a pair of medical gloves and it is a breeze. As far as putting the back on afterward, just make sure that the orientation is the same as it was when you removed it.
