How to take off apple watch case

Guys, halp! I put a hard plastic case on my new Series 7 and now I can't get the bloody thing off. It's interfering with swipes and there's a couple of air bubbles under it (it's not even a sticky screen protector, just a hard shell, so I'm not sure how the air bubbles even got there). I want it off, but I'm not nearly strong enough; I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to break it, and I've thought about digging under the edges with a pair of scissors or my pliers but I'm scared to scratch the watch itself.

Any ideas?

EDIT: IT'S OFF!!!

Thanks for the advice, guys. It still took some doing (my thumbnails are sore) but I got it off (using the strap for leverage really helped) and I didn't even break the bloody thing. I threw it away, though; I'm not risking that again!

The case, I mean. I threw the case away, not the watch. /s

No, it is not possible to customise the casing by switching between different materials or colours. When initially buying Apple Watch, Apple also does not offer the option to mix and match cases and bands or to exchange or trade in included cases or bands separately, whether in store or online.

Tear off a piece of duct tape..
