• Pick up the back cover by its edges and remove it from the phone.
• If your cover is still sticking to the frame, slide the tip of an opening pick around the perimeter until the cover completely separates.
• During reassembly:
• This is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.
• Remove any adhesive chunks with a pair of tweezers or your fingers. Apply heat and isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) if you're having trouble removing the adhesive.
• If you're using custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.
• If you're using double-sided tape, follow this guide.
