Hey there! To keep your screws and parts safe during this repair journey, we totally recommend using a screw storage solution. An old sewing box can do the trick! At Salvation Repair, we love our handy magnetic pad, where you can neatly arrange all your parts just like they were in the phone. This way, you won’t misplace any screws or mix them up, which could cause some hiccups in your device’s performance. Let’s keep everything organized and your device happy!
Step 3
Just a little tip: you should be able to touch the screen without feeling like you’re in a sauna. Keep it cool!
– To kick things off, gently set your iPhone on a soft, clean surface. This way, your case stays scratch-free and happy!
– Next up, grab that heat gun and give the edge of the display a nice warm-up. Run it evenly along the edge like you’re giving your device a cozy little hug.

Step 4
– Kick things off by sticking a suction cup on the bottom edge of your display. Gently pull it upwards to create a snug little gap between the display and the case.
– Next, slide in a flat, sturdy tool to widen that gap. A hard plastic plectrum and the iFlex are perfect for this job!
Opening up your iPhone 11 Pro might just put a dent in that shiny manufacturer’s warranty, plus it could also wave goodbye to your IP68 dust and water protection. So, think twice before you dive in!
Hey there! The hard plastic plectrum is designed to be a bit thinner at the corners. This little feature makes it super easy to slide in, while also keeping you from going too deep into your device. Now, the iFlex is a sleek tool made of ultra-thin, sturdy metal with sharp edges. To keep your device’s frame looking sharp, we suggest kicking off this step with the iFlex and switching to the hard plastic plectrum as soon as you can. Let’s keep that frame scratch-free and get this repair rolling!
