AirPod case stuck in hard plastic (3p) case?

2 years ago I put a hard plastic case on my AirPods. Have loved it - but when I had to reconnect my AirPods to a device, I could not remove the hard case to access the connect button

So after reading some of the other proposed solutions from a previous thread: Lightening cable and pushing did NOT work. Refrigerator may or may not have helped (!). BUT solution that ultimately worked for me: used small end of wooden spatula and a piece of rubber matting to protect the place of contact by the charging port and really had to push...slow and steady. Wow. Won't do that again.
