Step 2

– Grab yourself a suction cup and stick it onto the warmed edge of the rear cover, aiming for that sweet spot right near the edge.

– With a firm and steady pull, lift up on the suction cup to create a nifty little gap between the rear cover and the frame.

Step 3

– Gently glide the opening pick down the left edge, making your way to the bottom left corner to slice through that pesky adhesive.

– Keep the pick snugly in the bottom left corner to stop the adhesive from playing tricks and sealing back up.

– As you go, pop in an opening pick at each corner to stop the adhesive from sealing back up. Teamwork makes the dream work!

– Slide an opening pick around the whole edge of the phone to free any sneaky adhesive you might’ve missed. If something’s being stubborn, just give it a little reheat.

Then, do the same on the other side—just avoid pressing down in the middle. If it gets misaligned, those little pins can bend, and that’s a no-go! Remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
