This Dial's solid construction is great (especially if it ends up sliding off your Surface) but also makes it a challenge to get into...

Some aggressive prying led to aggressive snapping which led to aggressive... well, let's just say the midframe didn't come out without a fight.

Removing the midframe/battery holder compartment, we get a peek at a sweet bearing, and some silicon!

We also get to pop this (presumably Bluetooth) antenna off of the battery compartment.

Along for the ride are four magnets, evenly spaced around the battery frame. Not only do they secure that sweet magnetic cover, they also give the Dial a little extra grip on the Studio's screen to combat the ol' downward slide.
