• Apply an iOpener to the left edge of the rear cover for one minute.

Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but be cautious not to overheat and damage the display or internal battery.

Be cautious not to burn yourself with excessive heat.

• Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the rear cover, as close to the edge as possible.
• Alternatively, apply clear packing tape over cracked areas for better adhesion or use strong tape instead.

Superglue the suction cup only if other methods fail.

Use strong, steady force to pull up on the suction cup and create a gap between the rear cover and frame.

• If this is difficult, reapply heat as needed for better results.
• Once a gap is created, insert an opening pick into it.

Slide the opening pick along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to slice the adhesive.

Do not insert the opening pick more than halfway into the phone or you risk damaging internal components.

• Leave the pick inserted in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

Continue with the heating and cutting procedure, repeating for the remaining three sides.

• Leave an opening pick on each side before moving to the next one to prevent adhesive resealing.
• Repeat this process until all four sides are separated, allowing the rear cover to release from the phone.

• If your screen is badly cracked, cover it with clear packing tape for better suction.
• Alternatively, use very strong tape instead of the suction cup or superglue it in place.

With a strong, steady pull, create a gap between the display and frame using the suction cup.

This may be difficult depending on your phone's age; try applying more heat and attempting again if necessary.
