    • Use a plastic opening tool to loosen the tabs around the edge of the phone.

    • Inserting a thin piece of plastic will help prevent opened tabs from locking back into place.

    • This step can be frustrating, but requires patience. Avoid the temptation to pry the panel loose. Using excessive force may break the delicate tabs.
