I take an exacto knife to the upper corner on the bubble and slice carefully from top to bottom making my way around to the other end at the top. This creates a hinge on the bubble allowing me to use it again if I so wish. Plus I hate destroying card art, so I try to avoid it when possible.
There are exceptions to this rule, the retaliation cards for example, which fall under the 'Hulk Smash' and 'Nothing Stops the Juggernaut' opening styles. Although the bubble is quite nice on the packaging considering how it wraps around the card on one end. This allows for minimum damage of the card if you just slice the tape.

i'm pretty careful when opening mine,ripping open just does'nt appeal.for example,take a figure like poc lowlight,if you ripped him open theres a good chance your gonna lose some accessories,the single bullet etc,so i'm always careful and patient.

I'm a loose collector so I don't care about the package. Sometimes I damage the package more if I think it will keep what is inside more intact. I do take care of the package (remove the bubble or tape with a blade) more if I think the packaging has value to someone else. Those packages are then given away or used as more decorative boxes to store things in. I have also kept the boxes to the con sets that I have in great shape.

It depends on the card. Normal, everyday item (let's say a 30th cobra trooper) I rip into them like a 6 year old hopped up on Pixi sticks.
If it's something that I either want to keep for possible re-sale or sentimental value I'm all about the exact knife, or trying to heat up the glue for an easy removal.
