Does anyone know any tips or tricks which might help me to get it back in? Would heating the case up help? I'm almost at the shaving a bit from the edge of the crystal stage :?
Any ideas would be muchos appreciated.
A bit late, but putting the plastic crystal in the freezer could also work. You have to be quick because it warms up fast after you take it out of the freezer.
