      • Using a prying device, such as a Spudger, remove the phone's back cover. At the top of the phone, there's an indentation to put the Spudger into to pop the case off.

      • Remove interior case. Insert the spudger into the indentations at the top or bottom of the phone to pry off the interior case.

      • You might have difficulty popping the case off. You may use the metal spudger if the plastic one fails. Be cautious when using it, as the metal spudger may damage your phone.
