Thanks. It worked. To answer my own question. Yes, there are tabs
on the hinge side. All of the tabs are on the back half of the case,
so that is where the pressure needs to be applied, with one
exception. There is one tab on the screen side right next to the
stylus hole (toward the center). It makes a pretty frightening pop
when the halves are separated. No breaks, however. Installation is
easy once the case is open.
