Introduction

Use this guide to replace the back cover of the Amazon Echo Show 8 2nd gen or to aid in the other guides where the back cover needs to be removed. The back cover is the outer shell of the device, that needs to be removed to access the inner workings of the device. This guide will walk you through the four-step process of removing the back cover. This guide is the pre-requisite guide for all of the replacement guides and will be the first four steps to all the replacement guides.
