            Remove the two triangular pads at the top of the two speakers.

            These pads have adhesive to keep them situated, so you may want to use a fine-tipped object, such as a screwdriver or a pen, to remove them. It is easiest to place the fine-tipped object in the small indent in the corner of these pads.

            Remove the two rubber cylinders from their shafts. These cover more screws.

            This requires a little more effort, so you may need to "dig" them out.

            Starting on the side with red square, pry the faceplate upwards with the flat end of a spudger. 
- 
                     
            Continue to slide the flat edge along the seam of the faceplate.

            Lift the dislodged faceplate off the motherboard while being mindful of the wires still attached to it.

            The faceplate is still attached through speakers that travel from the ear-piece to the motherboard. 
- 
                     
            Carefully wedge the flat or pointed end of the spudger beneath the ear-piece and the faceplate. 
- 
                     
            This may require a bit of force, as the ear-piece is stuck to the faceplate with adhesive.

            The faceplate and keypad can now be completely removed from the phone.
