Pry all the way around the sides with a plastic pry tool and gently pop off the midframe.

If the cover does not come off easily, continue to pry along the phone's perimeter.

This step can take some patience. Prying too hard or forcing the screen off can crack or scratch the screen and break the thin plastic around the stylus case.

Separate the midframe from the phone. The midframe should now pull off easily.
