    • Wedge a plastic opening tool between the front and back panel, on the bottom right corner.

    • Slowly push the tool down to make a small gap between the front panel and the back panel.

    • Holding the tool steady, run the tool along the bottom part of the device from right to left. This will make the gap between the front panel and the back panel bigger.

    • When wedging your tool into the device, make sure to apply the pressure to the screen and device at a slow but steady speed to the screen. Too much pressure too fast can crack the screen.

    • Insert another plastic opening tool into the bottom of the left side, as shown.

    • Using a similar procedure to the last step, run the tool along the side and widen the front panel-back panel gap. This time, run the device from bottom to top.

    • Repeat this process for the right side of the device, starting at the bottom of the right side.

    • Some of the other tools that you wedged in may pop out. Simply wedge them back in where they were previously, and continue.
