      • Use a plastic opening tool to pry between the front and back cover.

      • Start prying from wherever it is easiest to separate the silver and black plastic of the covers.

      • There are 5 securing clips on the front panel to disconnect.

      • Pry gently to prevent breaking the plastic clips when removing the front panel.

      • Once all the clips have been freed, the front cover will lift away from the phone.
