My Corsair 450D case arrived for my new build and the left panel is just completely stuck.

Obviously, I've taken out the screws and made sure nothing was jammed in the sides of the panel. Even my dad couldn't pull it the inch or so it needs to move.

Anyone have any similar experiences, or have a trick for something like this? It's completely stuck, so if I can't get it open I might just try to return it.
 
Solution
I had this happen one time. I taped up a flat head screw driver with electrical tape (so as not to scratch the panel), inserted it between the panel and chassis and rotated it. With some force, the panel broke free.
