      • The bottom cover is attached to the back cover by two plastic clips. Don't use excessive force.

      • Insert a plastic opening tool between the edge of the bottom cover and the main body.

      • Gently pry the bottom cover from the body. Start anywhere along the front side of the iD95 and work your way around.

      • Grip the bottom portion of the device and gently lift the front part of the bottom cover a couple centimeters up.

      • Potential for device damage: Be careful not to use too much force or you might break the plastic rings holding the side panels in place.

      • Lift up the bottom cover. Pull the side panel up first, out, and away from the device.

      • The side panels have plastic rings that will need to be lifted up and off the cylinders they are placed around.

      • Locate the two plastic clips holding the bottom and back cover together.

      • Which clip you remove first is up to you. Rotate the device 90 degrees either left or right. Insert the flat end of a spudger horizontally between the back speaker and the back cover.

      • Place the flat end of the spudger behind one clip and pry it open. This may take repeated attempts.

      • This is the hardest step because the angle is awkward and the visibility is poor. If possible, have someone hold the device or provide lighting.

      • Once a clip has been removed, hold the bottom cover open so the clip will not fall back into place. One clip remains to be removed; you are almost there!
