Step 1
Hey there, tech hero! Make sure to power off your trusty phone before you begin diving into its components. After all, we want to keep things running smoothly. If you ever need a hand, you know who to call – schedule a repair!
You might consider using a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but let’s not turn your phone into a sauna! Remember, both the display and the internal battery are a bit sensitive to heat—so keep it cool and steady. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
– Grab your trusty iOpener and give the left edge of the rear cover a warm hug for about a minute.

Step 2
If your rear cover is looking a bit worse for wear with some serious cracks, a layer of clear packing tape might just do the trick to help that suction cup stick. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also try using some super strong tape instead of the suction cup. And if you’re really in a bind, a little superglue can go a long way in securing that suction cup to the broken cover.
Depending on how old your phone is, this might be a bit tricky. If you’re running into some trouble, don’t hesitate to apply a bit more heat to the edge and give it another go.
– Grab your trusty suction cup and stick it right on the edge of the rear cover – the closer to the edge, the better!
– Now, give that suction cup a good pull! You want to create a little gap between the cover and the frame.
– With a gentle touch, slide the point of your opening pick into that gap. You’re almost there!
Step 3
Whoa there, champ! Don’t go crazy with that opening pick – just a gentle nudge is all you need. Push it in too far, and you might give those delicate internal parts a nasty surprise. We wouldn’t want that, would we?
– Gently glide the opening pick down the left edge, making your way to the bottom left corner to cut through that sticky adhesive.
– Keep the pick snugly in the bottom left corner to stop the adhesive from sealing back up. You’ve got this!
Step 4
As you work your way around the phone, the rear cover will start to come loose – you’re making great progress!
– Go ahead and repeat the heating and cutting magic on the other three sides of your phone. You’ve got this!
– Keep an opening pick in place on each side as you move along to the next one. This little trick will help stop that pesky adhesive from sticking back together.
Step 5
Before you seal the deal, make sure to power up your device and give your repair a test run to ensure everything is working smoothly. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
