Their internals shouldn't explode when you open them. Make sure the
bottom of the case (the part with the holes in it) is down and open
very slowly and carefully. I think you can even buy replacement cases
and transfer the tape to a new case. Check at Wally-World or Rat
Shack. I've done this before but, as always, your mileage may vary.
