Slide the halberd spudger/opening pick to the upper corner of the phone to cut the adhesive and insert and opening pick to prevent the adhesive from sticking to the display.

Go slowly so that the tool doesn't slip out of the seam. If cutting becomes too difficult, reheat and reapply the iOpener.

Repeat the previous heating and cutting procedure for the remaining sides of the phone. Insert an opening pick on every corner and on both sides of the Note8.

Use a little extra caution when prying near the top edge so as not to damage the front-facing sensors and earpiece speaker.
