    • Insert the spudger between the gray and black plates of the screen casing.

    • Using a twist and pry motion work your way around the phone slowly prying the two plates apart.

    • Note: this part of the phone is glued and will require re-gluing to return the phone to its original state.

    • If you look at the side of the now exposed screen there should be a metal casing held onto the phone by two tabs.

    • Insert the spudger underneath one of the corners of the metal and bend it out enough to slip it over the tabs.

    • This metal is reasonably resistant to bending and will likely require a good deal of force to get it off the phone.
