Step 6

– Once the rear glass is feeling warm and cozy, pop a suction cup near the bottom edge of that glass.

– Give the suction cup a gentle tug to open up a tiny gap beneath the rear glass, and then slide an opening pick into that sweet little space.

Step 7

– Gently glide the pick along the bottom edge of your phone to break through the adhesive that’s holding the rear glass in place.

Step 8

– Keep the good times rolling by warming up and slicing through the remaining three sides of your phone.

– Once you’ve made some progress, slide an opening pick under each edge to keep the adhesive from getting a little too cozy and sealing up again.

Step 9

– Grab your trusty opening pick and gently slide it through any stubborn adhesive left hanging around. It’s like giving your device a little spa treatment!

– Now, with a bit of finesse, lift off the rear glass. You’re doing great!
