This step may take a few minutes.

Use a plastic opening tool to separate the screen cover from the top half of the phone.

Slide the corner of the opening tool along the side of the phone toward the bottom corner.

With the phone screen facing away from you, press into the screen crevice at an angle so that the tool pushes away towards the main screen.

Use a moderate amount of force.

Be aware of the sharp edges of the prying tool.

Once the seal has been broken, tug the cover away.
