-
Pull the blue handle backward to disengage the arms of the Anti-Clamp.
-
-
-
Rotate the Anti-Clamp to the side so it doesn't obscure your starting edge. Refer to your original guide for which edge to start with.
-
Center the suction cups over a smooth area of the device near the starting edge.
-
-
-
Squeeze the suction cups together to secure them to the device.
-
-
-
The suction cups need to be aligned with each other for the Anti-Clamp to work properly.
-
Improper alignment may cause the cups to separate prematurely. Pull the cups off the device using their pull tabs and re-center them.
-
-
-
-
Push the blue handle forward to lock the arms.
-
-
-
Place a support under your device so the Anti-Clamp stands upright without being held in place.
-
-
-
Twist the handle clockwise one full rotation (360 degrees) or until the cups begin to stretch.
-
-
-
For smaller devices, thread a heated iOpener through the arms of the Anti-Clamp to heat your device.
-
For larger devices, or iPhone models 12 and newer, use a hair dryer or a heat gun to soften the adhesive along your starting edge.
-
-
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present a gap.
-
If, after several rounds of heating, the device doesn't show any signs of opening, twist the knob one quarter-turn.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap created by the Anti-Clamp.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle backward to the unlock icon to disengage the arms.
-
Pull the suction cups off of the device using their pull-tabs.
-
Remove the Anti-Clamp and set your device on a flat surface.
-
-
-
Return to your original guide and continue disassembly, skipping any steps that open the device with a suction handle.

Very clear step-by-step guide. The next time I do a battery replacement I intend to use one of these.
Engaging the Opening Mode the first time takes a bit of a push, don't be afraid, keep pushing until you hear a click. Seems to be easier to engage after the first time.
Hi Ed,
Thanks for the helpful feedback! I've implemented your note into the guide step.
Looks like an answer to a problem that I don't have right now but I plan to purchase one of these before I do any more battery replacements.
I used mine to open a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 tablet. Very frustrating, seemed like you needed three hands to put it in place (though later I found a better procedure). The OEM case glue was quite powerful (used a heating pad to get the tablet Very hot). The Anti-Clamp had difficulty holding to the back of the case and kept losing its grip. I didn't try the packing tape trick, just now noticed it. I mainly used the top suction cup just by itself.
The replacement battery had a very long battery cable and didn't lay flat, which caused a bright spot on the display where the cable "kink" was. So time to remove the case again. This time I stuck each suction cup individually, screen side first, the case - firmly pressing each cup flat after placement. No need to "fight" the Anti-Clamp to get it in place, plus I think I got a better hold with the cups. The B-7000 glue I used was much easier to break loose than the OEM case glue.
To loosen the suction cups I slid an opening pick under the edge of the cup.
Excellent step-by-step guide.
Thank you ,hope more lessons like this, for example change battery or something else
Thank you again
Ron

I couldn't help but notice that in this guide it has it aligned perpendicular to the phone but in the YouTube video you guys posted online on how to use it it is parallel with the phone. Does it not matter or is it best practice to do one or the other?
