  • Use the Push Pin to remove the rubber screw covers by pushing the needle into the rubber and pulling up.

  • Wedge the plastic opening tool in between the top and bottom cases. This may require a little or a lot of force so be careful.

  • Note: the phone should be face up and the plastic opening tool should be face downwards

  • Once you get the plastic opening tool in, slide it across the side of the phone, making sure to keep the plastic opening tool wedged in between the two casings.
