I found this video that might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nId0VqfG_oI
Personally I cool the eggs down and roll them around in the pan with out water to start the cracking. Then add cold water so I can handle them. At this point while the eggs a bit warm and not really firm it's easier to peel the eggs.

I bring the water to a boil with with the eggs in the pot. When it comes to a boil I remove from the heat and cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Then drain in cold water, crack the shells under the cold water. This way avoids the green ring around the yolk I used to get. So far so good with the peeling.

Add salt to the cooking water. Also, the ice bath is essential. Holding the egg under cold running water as you peel can help too. This website might help:

Drain, Crack & Soak
I always cook the eggs. Drain the hot water off, shake the pan/pot back and forth vigorously to brake the egg shells. Then rinse the eggs in the pot with cold water, let them soak in the cold water for a minute and then peel. The shells come off easily. Give it a try.

Cover eggs with water, put 2 Tbs salt over them, bring to a boil, remove from heat. Let set 15 min. Drain and cover with cold water until cool enough to handle. Crack and peel using running water. Or refrigerate until needed. Usually works but don't use fresh eggs.

Like quilting candy, I use the egg cooker machine (QVC). It came with something that pokes a pinhole in the bottom of the egg before cooking. Never had a problem with the egg cooker eggs. But before I got this gizmo, I had a few problems at times. Using older eggs helped.
