I use 2 methods, the first is gently prying the 2 halves apart using a large bulldog clip, the second is to gently drop the machine from an inch or two on a lower corner until the sticktion is lost and the back loosens itself. If you don't have a bulldog clip you could use any wide metal tool like a plasterer's float or a putty knife - they're all wide enough to not mark the casing while giving leverage.
