    • Use an opening tool or opening picks and insert the tip between the back case and screen.

    • Slide the opening tool around the edge of the tablet to release the clips holding them together and avoid damaging the connectors.

    • You can also place additional opening picks in the space between the top and bottom case to prevent the front and back cases from snapping back together.
