      • 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.
