You can use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate for some extra warmth, but keep an eye on it! Too much heat can be a real bummer for your phone’s display and internal battery, so let’s avoid any heat mishaps.

Step 2
Got a badly cracked rear cover? No worries, just slap some clear packing tape on it and the suction cup should stick like a charm. Or, if you’re feeling extra handy, you can use some super strong tape instead. And if all else fails, a little superglue can work wonders to get that suction cup to stay put on the broken cover.
Having some trouble with this step? Don’t sweat it, it can be a bit tricky depending on your phone’s age. Just apply some extra heat to the edge and try again. If you’re still having issues, remember that you can always schedule a repair with the pros at Salvation Repair.
– Grab a suction cup and stick it to the warm edge of the rear cover, getting as close to the edge as you can.
– Give that suction cup a good, steady pull to open up a little gap between the rear cover and the frame.
– Slide the tip of an opening pick into that gap you’ve just created.
Step 3
Be careful not to insert the opening pick too far into the phone – about halfway is the sweet spot. Going further could put those internal components at risk, and we want to keep them safe and sound. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– Gently glide the opening pick down the left edge until you reach the bottom left corner, slicing through that adhesive like a pro.
– Keep the pick snugly in the bottom left corner to make sure that pesky adhesive doesn’t seal itself back up on you.
