    • Prepare an iOpener and heat the back of the phone along its right edge for about five minutes. This will help soften the adhesive securing the back cover.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the phone warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the LCD display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    Anyone have experience with different backplates? Mine has a wood back and I'm wondering if it's too fragile to remove.

    We had a flexible one and it peeled up slowly. Scraped off old adhesive and reattached with spray adhesive on backplate.

    Thank you for the 'warning' and reminder to be careful removing the back plate as to not damage the wiring. This is confusing because it looks as if the only spot you need to really be careful is on the left-hand side where the volume and power buttons are.

    Was unable to accomplish this step. All I got was a bent SIM card removal tool and a (leather) back panel that hadn't budged.

    +1 for failure to launch. Broken several tips, plastic and metal, without budging the back at the hole 1 mm, even after heating with a heat gun and iOpener.

    +1 for failure to launch at this stage. IOpener, heat gun and several broken plastic and metal tips later didn’t move the back cover one mm.

    My smartphone also has a wooden back. I replaced it quite well with the help of a hairdryer and 3 credit cards. You can see on the photos where you have to be more careful. In all other places, I carefully pushed the plastic cards further and further inside. In between the backside was reheated 2-3 times. Then it was done.

    I used guitar picks and wedged them in, and spread them around and slowly peeled it up. It was a very long process. Eventually was able to peel the back off with my fingers, but again took a long time.

    Also, be careful where the cords for the volume and power buttons are so you don’t damage that cable.

    • In the following steps, you'll be cutting through the adhesive securing the back cover.

    • The adhesive is laid out as seen in the first image, which shows the inside of the cover.

    • Avoid slicing in this area to avoid damaging delicate ribbon cables.

    • Hold a pair of pointed tweezers closed, and insert them into the small hole on the edge of the back cover near the SIM card slot.

    • Use the tweezers to lift the cover up slightly, and slide an opening pick into the gap between the cover and the frame.

    • Slide the opening pick along the edge of the phone to slice through the back cover adhesive.

    • Try to insert the pick as far as you can underneath the cover, toward the center of the cover. There's thick adhesive on the middle of the cover that must be separated.

    • Leave the pick in place as you proceed to the next step. Leaving the pick inserted can help prevent the glue you just separated from re-adhering.

    • Prepare an iOpener and heat the back of the phone along its left edge for about five minutes. This will help soften the adhesive securing the rest of the back cover.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the phone warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • Slice through the adhesive along the bottom edge of the phone.

    • Re-heat the back cover as needed to prevent the glue from cooling and hardening.

    • Slice through the adhesive along the left side of the phone.

    • Try to insert the pick as far as you can underneath the cover, toward the center of the cover. There's thick adhesive on the middle of the cover that must be separated.

    • Stop cutting when you get to the edge of the volume buttons. Cutting past this point may damage the ribbon cables underneath the cover.

    • Carefully pry the cover away from the phone.

    • This may take a lot of force if the adhesive in the middle is still attached. As you lift the cover, you may need to use an opening pick to slice through any remaining adhesive.

    • To reinstall the back cover:

    • First use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from both the back cover and the phone's chassis.

    • Then, clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth. Swipe in one direction only, not back and forth. This will help prep the surface for the new adhesive.

    • If it didn't already fall off, lift the metal camera plate away from the back cover. Carefully apply adhesive to the cover. Replacement adhesive comes in a pre-cut sheet to match the exact contours of the back cover. If that's not available, you can use a high-bond double-sided tape, such as Tesa 61395. With the new adhesive applied, reinstall the camera plate.

    • After installing the rear cover, apply strong, steady pressure to your phone for several minutes to help the adhesive form a good bond.

    • If desired, you may reinstall the back cover without replacing the adhesive. Remove any large chunks of adhesive that might prevent the back cover from sitting down flush. After installation, warm the back cover and apply pressure to secure it.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Is the new adhesive applied to the back cover first, or to the phone first?

Chris Ringer - Responder

Hi Chris, the adhesive should be applied to the back cover first. Make sure you remove the camera plate first and apply the adhesive before reinstalling the plate. I’ve changed the guide to explain that better.
