I have another, perhaps slightly less nightmarish, packaging example for you. Below is a picture of memory maker OCZ Technology's Mini-Kart 2 GB USB flash drive. Yes, it isn't in the traditional USB flash drive case so it's pretty flat and easy to store in wallets and such. This is another mobile computing accessory that will appear later in the month on MobilityGuru.
Like the Targus lock, the OCZ product is squirreled away in open-me-if-you-can packaging. To OCZ's credit and as you can see in the picture below, the packaging is only fused in a four places. This makes it fairly easy to open with your fingers. I still advise wearing gloves, because the plastic packaging can tear, leaving sharp edges that can cut your fingers, etc.

i think you just need to be a man and get better hand grip. lame to be writing a rant about a wuss not being able to open boxes.
There seems to be some issues with your FedEx "Express" box. The main one being it has a FedEx Ground label on it. How did you or they manage that? FedEx prohibits use of FedEx Express supplies for anything except FedEx Express. Thats pretty pretty below the belt of your sender to use free FedEx Express boxes for Ground services.
