If you have a glass back cover, be careful not to pull too much or it may crack. It's better if you keep heating the area before trying to get in with the opening picks, specially around the corners.

I was using a hairdryer on 2/3 heat level and my phone was very hot to the touch and it still wouldn't budge a millimeter to get the plastic tools in. Any advice? I'm not sure heating it more is safe for the rest of the phone, so I'm not sure what else to do.
