Removing back cover issue.

Even after using the iOpener I am having serious trouble getting the cover to come up enough to get a pick or anything else in there. I am using a TON of force with the suction cup too. Any tips would be helpful.

Is this a good question?

You may need some heat. Try using a hair dryer on low. Start at the top right corner and stay away from the fingerprint sensor.

@imicrosoldering I'm using the iOpener heat thing to help release the adhesive but while the phone gets hot, the cover doesn't budge. I might go buy a hairdryer or heat gun though.

In case anyone stumbles upon this; I was able to get the cover off with a heat gun.
