Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G Rear Cover Replacement Guide
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 5 Steps
Dive into this guide to swap out the rear cover on your Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G! While this tutorial is based on the non-5G Note10+, the steps are still super relevant. Just a heads up, some images might show slight variations, but don’t worry—they won’t throw off your groove as you follow along!
Step 1
Alright, let’s get this show on the road. Make sure your phone is completely powered off before you start taking things apart.
You can use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to help with the repair, but remember to keep it cool! Overheating can be a real bummer for your phone’s display and internal battery, so let’s avoid that heat damage. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
– Get your iOpener nice and warm. Press it against the left edge of the back cover for about a minute. We’re gonna loosen up that adhesive!

Step 2
If your rear cover has seen better days and is all cracked up, a layer of clear packing tape might just do the trick to help the suction cup stick. You could also opt for some really strong tape if the suction cup isn’t playing nice. And if things get desperate, a little superglue on the suction cup could save the day!
Depending on how long you’ve had your phone, removing that cover might be a bit of a challenge. If you’re running into trouble, don’t hesitate to apply a bit more heat to the edge and give it another go!
– Grab your trusty suction cup and place it snugly on the warmed edge of the rear cover, getting as close to the edge as you can.
– Give that suction cup a strong, steady pull to create a little gap between the rear cover and the frame – you got this!
– Now, gently slide the tip of an opening pick into that gap you’ve made.
Step 3
Be careful not to slide that opening pick in too deep—keep it to halfway or you might accidentally poke something important inside!
– Now it’s time to get that pick sliding – gently work it along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to break through the adhesive. You’re making great progress!
– Leave that pick right where it is, stuck in the bottom left corner, to keep the adhesive from re-sealing. You’re one step closer to a successful repair! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Step 4
As you go around the edges, the rear cover will start to loosen up and come apart from the phone. You’re doing great!
– Now, let’s keep the momentum going! Just like before, heat up and slice through the remaining three sides of the phone.
– And hey, don’t forget to tuck an opening pick on each side as you move along. This little trick will stop that pesky adhesive from sticking back together!
Step 5
Alright, champ, it’s time to give your device a whirl and see if your repair is a slam dunk! Once everything’s working like a charm, you can go ahead and put on that fresh adhesive and seal things up nice and tight. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
– Time to get started – lift that rear cover straight up and set it aside.
