That's a good point. It *is* flimsy, and if bent too much it'll crack.
To help separate the two pieces, run a thin piece of plastic (or pencil point?) in the along the join between the two.

the thin piece of plastic put between the two ...Means at the top position near thumboard space bar? My confusion is how do u deal wif the side of Front Flip. The bottom of front flip i got no idea how is the construction looks like.
--Should i "bend" to loose the side of the front flip?
--or pull UP the Numpads frame towards wif some force?
Are tos Numpads paste on a big piece of rubber or individual Numpads? How long do u spent to crank the front flip?-(So, i can judge how tedious this mini operation is..hehe)
p/s: good news is My 'cancel' button dun seems to work properly again..haha

Sorry about the vague instructions.
Let's do it this way:
What we're doing is separating the darker grey piece of plastic surrounding the number pad / OK / C buttons etc from the rest of the keypad unit. I'll call this darker grey piece the frame.
Locate the top edge of the frame (ie, the edge immediately above the OK / Back / C / Menu button row) which makes a small lip at the *bottom* of the QWERTY keypad, beneath the space bar.
Gently push this lip away from the QWERTY keypad (ie outwards from the number pad) just a millimetre or so until the lip is off the edge of the unit. *Take care not to pull the frame away any further than this at this stage, else there's a real danger of breaking it.*
You'll see small gaps then between the frame and the unit, on the left and right-hand sides (ie, next to the OK and menu buttons). Insert a thin *and not-too-hard* object such as a pencil point or guitar plectrum into one of these gaps and run down along the side of the frame towards the bottom (ie, towards the * and # keys). As you do so, that side of the frame will come away from the unit. Repeat for the other side, and then you'll have the whole frame off.
The number keypads themselves are made from one single membrane, and make contact with a single surface internally, to answer the earlier question.
