Introduction
The side buttons on the Jawbone MINI JAMBOX control its power and bluetooth pairing. With excessive use or use in dirty conditions, the buttons can begin to stick. This issue should be resolved by thoroughly cleaning the button.

Using the standard metal spudger, begin by prying at the bottom of the plain rubber end cap (the end without the USB or auxiliary input).

Continue prying around the end panel, prying at different points until the entire panel is out of its seating.

I was able to remove the cover without cosmetic damage. I used a 6” sharp knife blade, slid it into the crack and twisted. As Kevin states in Step 2, you are trying to lift up the center of the long edge. The top short end has two tabs and the bottom end has one big tab in the center.

Yes I agree with Student4Life. Just insert the spudger into the top short edge (the edge without rubber foot) and you can remove the cover without noteble damage.
