With the screen flipped over, you now have access to the metal plate under it. Using the same Phillips screwdriver, remove the metal plate. Doing this will give you access to the push pin holding the cover in place.
Use a small needle, pin, or needle nose pliers to slide the pin right out. Be sure to keep the pin and spring in a safe spot to prevent loss.
