[title] Insert an opening pick
[* black] Heat an iOpener and apply it to the same edge of the phone for two minutes.
[* black] Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone, as close to the center of the right edge as possible ([https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/D5lNQoWPOgOCEAPO.full|where the adhesive is narrowest|new_window=true]).
[* black] Pull on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the back cover and the frame.
[* black] Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap.
[* icon_note] Due to tight tolerances, this may take multiple attempts.
[* black] If you are having trouble creating a gap, your best bet is to apply more heat to the edge and try the previous step again. The glass is heated enough when it is barely too hot to touch.
[* black] You can try applying a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol into the seam to help loosen the adhesive.
- [* icon_caution] Do not apply excessive force with the pick, or you will risk cracking the back cover glass. ***The glass is brittle. Pretend that the glass is as fragile as an eggshell: STOP slicing adhesive as soon as you feel the it becoming tough to cut and apply more heat before continuing.***
