Begin by removing the trim piece from around the front face plate.
Be very careful when dealing with the trim. It is very delicate, so be cautious when approching this next part.
Using your fingers or The Spudger get underneath the trim. Start by applying enough force to pry the trim off.
Be patient when trying to pry off the trim. The tape attaching the trim to the phone is very strong. Just be persistent and patient and it will eventually give.
Remove the trim piece.
