Using a hair dryer, apply heat evenly around the edges of the back of the phone. This will loosen the adhesive and allow you to remove the back panel.
As you're heating up the phone, begin to pry open the back starting from the middle, and going to the corners.
Do not apply heat in one area for too long.
