    • Allow your phone's battery to drain below 25%, as a charged lithium-ion battery is a potential safety hazard. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

    • Unplug any cables from your phone.

    • Hold the side key and the volume down button, then select "Power off" to turn off your phone.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the back cover for two minutes.

    • You may use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate instead, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

    • Apply a suction handle to the back cover, as close to the center of the right edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a gap between the cover and the frame.

    • If you have trouble creating a gap, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Grab and remove the back cover.

    • If your cover is still sticking to the frame, slide an opening pick around the edges to separate any adhesive that may have resealed.

    • During reassembly:

    • This is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.

    • Remove any adhesive chunks with a pair of tweezers or your fingers. Apply heat if you're having trouble separating the adhesive.

    • If you're using custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.

    • If you're using double-sided tape, follow this guide.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
