    • Flip the phone over so the keyboard faces up.

    • Insert a plastic spudger into the screen where speaker resides.

    • I recommend going from the side. There are two layers to the cover. You need to make sure you get underneath the bottom layer if you plan on reusing this cover.

    • Gently lift up plastic screen cover until screen cover separates from screen.

    • Continue until screen cover is completely removed.

    • Insert the spudger into the top of the plastic siding on the front of the phone and lift up until the siding lifts up.
