Haha.. I hear ya.  I was worried about that clip at first as well, afraid I would break it trying to get the cable out. However I have had the cable off a few times now. You just need something to poke in the sides so that you can slide the clip down and take the cable off.  I used a flat head screwdriver and when I got once side down I did the other.  Not much to it once you do it once.

Cheers
