Default Cracking PGS cases

Does anyone have a good method for doing so?

I've cracked tons of cases - PSA, SGC, BGC, you name it.

I just got a lot of some cards that I want to crack out and these suckers are sealed shut! I think the grading company is meant for coins and tries to make them air tight.

using the traditional tools isn't cutting it for me.

UPDATE....

Added some pics.

The first pic is the normal way I would approach it. Clip into it and then pry with a flathead screwdriver. You can see under the barcode where I tried to pry it open, but it was sealed tight. I could only pry the section that I had clipped. Not like other cases where you pry it open and the whole thing pops or at least some breaks so you can grab the card.

So I had to saw very carefully along the edge that isn't sealed on TWO sides. Then I had to pry it open and get the card out. Even then it barely was enough to get the card out. These cases are tough!!!
