How do I open the Ellie pill box correctly?

There are two ways to open the pillbox:

1. Holding the pillbox in both hands, push the lid forward with your thumbs, applying pressure evenly to its bottom corners. You will feel a slight resistance at first; however, when the pillbox is halfway open, you will notice the direction of this force switches, as the springs begin to expand the pillbox into a fully open position.
2. Stabilize the pillbox on a hard, flat surface. Place one hand on the pillbox, centering your fingers on the lower-half of the lid. Applying a small amount of downward pressure, begin sliding the lid forward in a smooth motion. Continue pressing down as you move the lid, until the pillbox is completely open.
