Bought this off of Etsy a while back, and am just now getting around to cleaning it up.  It was extremely dirty and corroded, and I wish I had taken some before pictures.  Question - does anyone know how to remove the bottom cover plate?

Does it possibly twist off like an SC?

I tried twisting, but not very hard.  There is a one slot on the side of the plate that I could get a screw driver under, and could lift the plate a little, but I didn't want to pry very hard either for fear of damaging something.  I'm sure there's a trick to it, I was hoping that someone with a similar C/S could shed some light on this one.

Its a twist.  You see the two tabs at 3 & 9 o'clock on the attached pics that hold the base on? There was probably a tool that fit into the two holes on the bottom to assist.  Don't pry, its a twist.

Thank you!  I used a better tool and it popped right off.  Now I can clean the inside of the phone.
