Finally found a decent beige case that isn't so seasoned. The front panel is strangely held by these metal things. Does anyone know if it pops out like plastic clipped ones, or it needs some tools to remove the bits? Since I've broken some plastic clips I don't wanna force anything again 🤣.

Yes, they are friction pop things (very technical term 😜 ), you should be able to just pull them out. If in doubt, push instead to avoid stressing the plastic.

Can you show the rest of case external and internal?

It does come off with a loud satisfying crack! Now I can get to the dust inside 😜 Also seems much sturdier than the usual plastic clips that get brittle. The front blue bezel also pops off, perhaps it was a swappable color thing. Maybe it looks better all beige 😜

It looks fairly generic on the outside, but build quality is much better than what I had or could find locally.
