Hi Justine,
Thank you for your question.
After you have FULLY loosened the three screws, it is then necessary to apply substantial force in order to ‘pop open’ the cover. Specifically there are plastic retention clips/tabs that keep the cover in place even after the screws are unscrewed. If you look at this photo:

you can see that the portion of the cover furthest from my hand is somewhat ‘bowed’ with the middle of the cover being totally free but the side portions still somewhat retained by the plastic clips/tabs that keep the cover in place. By gently pulling the cover up (away from the case) the tabs will eventually release. Something that may help is sliding your finger toward the tabs in order to gently release them.
Here are some photos that show parts of the cover turned upside down, revealing a couple of the plastic tabs, sorry to not have better photos!
