Unplug all cables from your phone.

Completely power off your phone by holding the side key and volume down button and selecting Power off.

Make sure there's a single strip (not overlapping) of tape across the bottom edge, big enough for a suction cup to fit on.

Heat an iOpener and lay it on the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes.

The cover is secured with adhesive around the perimeter of the frame. Use this picture as a reference while you separate the adhesive.

Apply a suction handle to the center of the back cover's bottom edge, as close to the edge as possible.

Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the back glass and frame.

Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick around the bottom right corner and up the right edge to separate the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick around the top right corner and along the top edge to separate the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick around the top left corner and down the left edge to separate the adhesive.

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