To cut through the adhesive, we'll need a *very* thin, but still rigid, tool. I'm sure you can buy something, but I reached into the recycling and cut shapes out of a soda can.

Suction tool to slowly lift the screen (an Anti-Clamp)

Heated compress (iOpener, or a wet towel in a Zip-Loc bag)

Thin flexible metal slicer (soda can here). The iFixit Jimmy or iSesamo might also work if thin enough, but I don't have one to try. In hindsight, I suggest drawing mm marks on these tools to be aware how deeply it's inserted -- though, alcohol might make the marker disappear.

Opening "bookmarks" like plastic cards or even cardboard, to keep adhesive from sticking the device together behind you.

Isopropyl alcohol (90%+)

Straw or cotton swab to deliver alcohol

Caution! Cutting up a soda can produces small, sharp bits of metal that love to draw blood. Use care when cutting and handling these. Use gloves if you can, to reduce the risk of injury.
