Begin by removing the rubber caps on both sides of the JBL Flip 2 by using the black spudger to get in between the creases.
Be very careful when removing the NFC rubber cap. There is a chip that is glued to the inside of the rubber cap. So, peel the rubber cap off slowly and remove the chip on the inside while peeling the rubber cap off.

First thing I did was rip the wire from the NFC chip! Luclily I don't need it as I only ever use my flip with my iPhone.

The NFC chip is glued onto the side of the device. Use the black spudger to separate the mic from the surface.

Gently slide the NFC chip into the device through the slot that the wire comes from.

Using the classic spudger, get underneath the black tape strips found on both side of the device.
After lifting a portion of the tape off of the device, gently peel the tape off of the device, making sure to keep it intact.
There is another piece of tape on the side of the device with the control buttons. Lift the tape with the classic spudger and then peel the rest of the tape off.

Edit

For easier removal warm the tape up with a hair dryer. It tears apart very easily.

Wedge a spudger between the two halves where the tape was to pry the device open.
When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.
