Does anyone know how to open up this case?
I've got a G-Tech G-Drive Mobile USB 3, and the USB connector port has broken clean off the circuit board inside the unit. I've got a replacement drive and I've got SATA to USB cables to transfer the data off the internal drive. Problem is that there are no screws on this casing! I've got a putty knife and various soft and hard pryers and spreaders, but before I go hacking at the case I was hoping one of you fine folk might have already had at one and can give any pointers as the best and least destructive way to get to the internal drive??
Many thanks!!

Its pretty easy to take apart. Just used a letter opener to pry off the plastic ring around the housing. If the USB is what was damaged, your data is safe! The hard drive inside the housing converts Sata to USB and your Sata connection is almost certainly undamaged.

Same issue. So it's a ring, not a lid? The black band is a separate part? I'm having trouble figuring out how to hold on to it in order to pry the ring off.
