Step 1

Step 2

– Give that iOpener a warm-up in the microwave for thirty seconds. It’s like a spa day for your repair tool!

– As you work through the repair, keep an eye on the iOpener. When it starts to cool down, pop it back in the microwave for another thirty seconds. Repeat as needed to keep the good vibes going!

Step 4

– Grab a pot or pan and fill it up with enough water to give your iOpener a nice, cozy bath.

– Heat that water until it’s bubbling like it’s excited to see you. Once it’s boiling, turn off the heat.

– Gently place your iOpener in the hot water for about 2-3 minutes. Make sure it’s taking a nice dip and is fully submerged.

– Using tongs (because safety first!), carefully pull the heated iOpener out of the water.

– Give your iOpener a good towel dry – we want it to look sharp!

– And voilà! Your iOpener is all set to go! If it needs a little warmth later, just repeat the process: boil the water, turn off the heat, and let it soak for 2-3 minutes again.

Step 6

– Once the rear glass is feeling warm and cozy, grab a suction cup and place it near the bottom edge of the glass.

– Gently pull on the suction cup to create a little gap beneath the rear glass, then slide an opening pick into that gap.

Step 7

– Gently glide the pick along the bottom edge of your phone to cut through the adhesive holding the rear glass in place. You’ve got this!

Step 8

– Now, let’s keep the momentum going! Just like before, repeat the heating and cutting magic on the other three sides of your phone.

– And remember, slide an opening pick under each edge to keep that pesky adhesive from sticking back together.

Step 9

– Grab an opening pick and gently glide it through any stubborn adhesive that’s still hanging on.

– Carefully lift off the rear glass and set it aside.

Step 10

– Get ready to install that new rear glass:

– If you’re reusing the old glass or using new glass without pre-installed adhesive, check out this guide.

– Grab your trusty tweezers and remove any leftover adhesive from the phone’s chassis.

– Clean up the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth. Remember, swipe in one direction only, not back and forth, to prep the surface for new adhesive.

– Carefully peel the adhesive backing off the new rear glass, line up one edge of the glass against the phone chassis, and press the glass firmly onto the phone.
