A while back I bought two of those Maclocks with the intention of modding one into a tiny Mac. After seeing the success of @WiteWulfGary Parker I decided to give it a go.

Opening the case is definitely the hardest part. Gary said to use guitar picks to start, so I began on the bottom and opened a gap to get a stronger metal spudger inside to lift up the rear case to release the six clips (circled in third pic) from the front. We're inside!

A guitar pick stuck in between the front and rear plastic housing on the bottom case of a tiny Maclock.

A Maclock with the front removed and leaning on the rear case.

Back side of the front case of the Maclock with six points circled in red showing where the clips are: two at the top, one on each side left/right, and two at the bottom.
