This is NOT how you open them!!! I broke one of mine doing this. The white part SLIDES UP! DO not ply it open!!! Slide it up ( it needs a LITTLE ply around the silver part. ) It comes off then there are TWO SCREWS holding the brown part down. Once you remove the two screws ( they are under the white part ) then you can slide up the brown part too.
For my model, 1637287 it was actually designed to slide out like a battery cover on a cell phone. The only place that might have reqired a little prying was on the white part of the case near the card reader/reset hole. There is a little plastic edge underneath, I pried that up then was able to wedge a spludger between the brown and white case line and slide up. Once I created a little space, I could push down and slide the white part up and off. To remove the brown case, there were 2 black screws revealed underneath that were holding it in place. Removed those, then I was able to do the same thing, push down and slide UP towards the top of tablet, the same direction as that the white case came off. Doing it the other way may brake some tabs, not sure how many models there were but this was the correct way to do it for mine. You wouldnt be able to fully pry off the brown part anyway because of how it is held in with 2 screws on mine.
