Add Note Edit Step 13  ¶ 

  • Pry up the rear panel by pulling the dental pick clockwise in a quick motion. Apply force perpendicular to the plane of the display assembly. You may be afraid to go fast, but going slowly is more likely to bend the case.

  • The rear panel is still attached to the iPhone by the headphone jack cable, so don't entirely remove the rear panel from the iPhone just yet.

Add Note Edit Step 15 — Battery  ¶ 

  • Use the tip of a spudger to remove the cloudy white glue covering the battery contacts.
