Step 4

- Slide a flat, sturdy tool into that gap to help widen it a bit more.

Step 5

- Run that plastic tool all the way around the screen's edge. Give it a little upward nudge at the same time to pop those hooked lugs free from the case.

- Once the screen is fully detached, gently unfold it towards the volume buttons and lean it against something stable. You've got this!

Step 6

- Unscrew the six screws from the two cover plates and store them safely in your screw storage. You don't want those little guys going on a field trip!

- Next, gently use a pair of tweezers to lift those plates off your device. Easy does it!

Step 7

- Use a plastic lever tool to gently slide under the connector and carefully lift it away from the board. A trusty plastic spudger works wonders for this task!

- Next, take off the carrier film from the adhesive frame and press it onto the edge of the case like a pro.
