    • Use a heat gun, hairdryer, or iOpener to weaken the adhesive around the back case. If you're using the iOpener, please review the instructions for proper use.

    It's worked for me with about maybe 15-20 seconds of heating per side.

    I could not get the pick started under the cover. Ruined several tips. I started with a hair dryer and switched to a heat gun. Be careful with a heat gun! 😬
