I had a similair problem while removing the rear cover. As I am not sure if your problem refers to the front cover only, I will describe how I managed to pull of the rear part.
Be sure to pull out all the screws (including the one inside the battery compartment) - there are 7 screws altogether. It is also necessary to keep the battery compartment lid open. It needs some strength to remove the rear cover. I suggest that you insert a screwdriver in the crack between both covers at the bottom or side of the camera and while twisting it sligthly, work all the way around the camera.
Good luck
