Don't try to fully remove the back glass just yet—it's still attached with a delicate ribbon cable. Follow the next few steps to remove it safely.

If the back glass doesn't swing open easily, don't force it—go back around the perimeter with your pick to check for missed sections of adhesive or stuck clips.

You may need to lift the back glass up slightly before swinging it open to fully disengage the clips.

Gently swing open the back glass towards the volume buttons.

Support the back glass with a clean, sturdy object like a small box to avoid straining the cable.

Remove the opening picks.
