Looking for a point of entry, we surprise the One M8 with a spicy hot iOpener.

With the underlying glue sufficiently softened, we strum away with a guitar pick until the first screw peeks through.

Screws! Glorious screws! Here's the missing link to make this unibody design repairable. Whenever we see gobs of adhesive and tough clips replaced with screws, we know we're in for a (slightly) happier time.

Just like that, the One M8's first line of defense is down—with the power of the Pro Tech Screwdriver Set, these screws are deftly dispatched.
