How open case-Iomega 650CD USB External CDRW Drive

Can someone explain or point to instructions to open the case of the Iomega 650 CD USB External CDRW drive?

I've tried removing the rubber feet, looked for screws under the label, removed the hex screw, pried at the case edges with screwdrivers and used shims, and have had absolutely no luck opening the case...most unusual design. I want to see if I can replace the USB 1.0 interface with a USB 2.0 interface or if I can move the drive within the case to a USB 2.0 capable enclosure (which has a more robust driver).
