    • Lay the screen flat on its surface and use the iFixit opening tool to remove the cover by gently prying the back cover from the screen.

    • Apply the opening tool to the edge closest to the screen.

    • Apply the opening tool to each side which will help pry the back cover evenly.

    • Do not pry on the bottom side of the device. This is the side across from the camera.
