Step 1

Tap that little Play button in the top right corner of the image to watch a video for each step. It’s like having a buddy guiding you through the repair!

– First things first, let’s give your device a little nap! Press and hold that power button until you see the ‘Power off’ option pop up on your screen.

– Now, give it a gentle tap with your finger to confirm that you really want to shut it down. Sit tight and watch as the screen fades to black!

Step 2

– The back cover is stuck on there pretty well, but don’t sweat it! Start by warming up your device evenly with some hot air to loosen that glue. Aim for a cozy temperature of 60 – 80°C; it should feel warm but still comfortable to touch.

– To get that back cover off, grab a flat and flexible tool like the iPlastix or iFlex. You’ll also want a few picks handy to help unstick the cover all the way around.

– Begin by heating the area where you’re starting, then slide a flat tool between the back cover and the frame. You’re on your way!

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder to handle that back cover with care – it’s a bit delicate and can break if you’re not gentle. If things aren’t going smoothly, don’t hesitate to warm it up a couple of times and give it another go. Removing the back cover might take a little while, so take your time and work carefully to avoid any mishaps. You’ve got this!

The iPlastix is your go-to buddy for keeping your device scratch-free since it’s made of plastic! Just a heads up, it’s a bit soft and can be a little tricky to get in there. Now, the iFlex is like the cool kid on the block, sliding effortlessly into the gap between the glass and the frame thanks to its super thin, sturdy metal design. Just remember to be gentle, as it might leave a mark on your S10e’s frame. Start your journey with the iFlex to get in there, and switch to the iPlastix as soon as you can for a smooth ride!
