Step 3
• Be gentle, the rubber seal is fragile and easy to tear, resulting in cosmetic damage to your device.
• Using the ifixit Opening Tool, carefully pry off the rubber seal around the sides.
• The seal is held by adhesive, if this is proving difficult you can use a heat gun to help the process.

Step 4
• The cover is the most difficult part to remove. As you work, pry continuously, moving the tool around the device, working it a little further as you go.
• Using the ifixit Opening Tool, pry open at the seam found under the rubber seal.
• As the cover starts to come off, you can lift up using your hand.
