3. Step 2
  Insert an iFixit opening tool into the gap between the tablet and back panel.
  
  Using a combination of iFixit opening tools and iFixit opening picks, pry the tablet upward around its perimeter to release it from the plastic rear case.
  
  If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your device. It is helpful to mark the edge with an opening pick, or opening tool at a depth that will not damage the inner contents of the tablet.
