As an alternative to the suction cup, we can recommend the iSclack, which requires less force to lift up the back cover.
– Attach a suction cup to the lower edge of the back cover and pull it upwards to create a narrow gap.
– At the same time, insert a flat tool into the gap between the back cover and the screen unit.

In order to prevent the glue of the back cover from bonding again, we recommend sliding flat plastic picks under the back cover at regular intervals.
– Drive your tool completely around the edge of the back cover to loosen it piece by piece.
– Put the detached back cover aside.
