How to Remove This Dryer Vent Cover?

Has anyone seen this style of dryer vent cover before, and how is it removed? I tried to pry it with a screwdriver from the top and sides, but it was not coming off easily. I looked for a screw but could not see one. The pipe underneath hampers access from the bottom.

A side view of the Deflecto Super Guard Vent has tabs on the side that with a flat head screw driver, you should be able to push in the tabs and pry it off.

@georgect That was it. Thanks so much. The tabs are extremely small and I would not have located them if you had not posted this.

@georgect Yes, thank you. I needed that tip, too! The left side isn't easily visible/accessible on my house, so this was very helpful.
