Step 2
If the back cover of your phone is a bit worse for wear, the suction handle might not do its thing. No worries! You can give it a go with some strong tape, or if you’re feeling adventurous, superglue that suction handle in place and let it set so you can carry on.
Having a tough time making that gap? Just apply a bit more heat to soften the adhesive further. Remember to stick to the iOpener instructions to keep things from getting too toasty!
– Attach a suction handle to the right edge of the back cover, getting as close to the edge as you can.
– Gently pull on the suction handle to lift the back cover, creating a little gap between it and the frame.
– Slide an opening pick into that gap to keep things moving along.

– Pop in a second opening pick at the bottom right corner, just like a pro!
– Gently glide that pick along the right edge of your phone to slice through the adhesive hiding under the back cover. You’re doing great!
– Keep the opening pick snugly in the top right corner while you tackle the next steps.
