• Unplug all cables from the phone.
• Completely power off the phone by pressing the side key and volume down button.

Glass shards can cause injury or complicate disassembly.

• Apply packing tape strips to cracked back glass until completely covered, ensuring it's contained and suction cup adheres.
• Create a single, non-overlapping strip of tape along the bottom edge, large enough for a suction cup to fit.
• Only apply tape to the glass, avoiding contact with the frame.

Consider wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from loose glass shards during repair.

Improper use of a heat gun may damage the display and/or battery.

• Apply an iOpener to the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes to soften the adhesive.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the cover.

Use this picture as a reference for separating the adhesive.

• The back cover is secured with adhesive around the frame's perimeter.

• Insert an opening pick at the top-left corner of the device.

Use a suction handle to lift and remove the back cover.

If still stuck, reapply an opening pick around the perimeter to separate any remaining adhesive.
