I've been using spudgers, guitar picks and flathead screwdrivers to open cases for decades, usually damaging the cases I'm opening. I wanted to try something different. There are enough negative or mixed reviews of the Jimmy that I didn't expect much but I decided to try it anyways. I have opened 3 cases that were difficult but possible to open without damaging them. The Jimmy left less to no marks where my previous methods would have damaged at least 2 out of 3 of them and it made the remaining one much easier to open. It's very thin, slightly flexible yet relatively strong business end makes getting into or between tight seams much easier than ever before.
Anyone who has used plastic spudgers and guitar picks know that those tools are not durable at all. The Jimmy is much more durable than they are. Although i haven't done any damage to it yet, I don't expect the Jimmy to last forever. The Jimmy is a great value and if I have to buy a replacement once in a while I won't mind given its very reasonable price.
