    • Insert a plastic opening tool in the small crevasse between the screen and the back panel.

    • Pry the screen away from the back panel.

    • Repeat this on each edge of the device.

    • We found it helpful to leave multiple plastic opening tools wedged in the crevasse to prevent it from closing.

    • This requires heavy force. The back of the device is attached with an adhesive. If the back panel is too hard to remove, use the iOpener.
