How do you crack open a case without damaging the coin?

I secure the slab in a vise, wrapped with a towel, and cut using a hacksaw.
The cut comes out nice and clean, and safer than a hammer.

also it's a good idea to do a search before asking
common questions
as you will receive the wrath of the board
that's why I lurked for 3 years before posting

Guys......doesn't that tone the coins?
Are going to have to call you "Doctors"?
On a serious note, when I crack out I do it the s-l-o-w way, a table grinder!
Slow, but I feel I have control. Grind a bit all around until the seal is broken.
I must say, this is for PCGS slabs only.
Other slabs I use a gasket scraper & hammer.

But it's good wrath!
Sure beats newbies who come here and try to tell us how we should do things.
Then you'll fel the real wrath of these boards.
Thank you, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.
My brother has always told me: no problem exists that can not be solved with the suitable amount of high explosive.

Sorry, thanks for the lesson Ajia, it won't happen again. I hope. I will try to be a more wise NFG in the future.
