After much heating and some heavy duty suction, we have liftoff!
Alas, we seem to be tethered to the launchpad: a thin cable for the front-facing camera keeps us from immediate opening success.
A bit of deft spudgering is called for.

And get a look at that adhesive—thick, gooey, and plentiful. No wonder this was a tough nut to crack.
