This must have been written before USB3 came out. I suggest 2007. Be wary of dated references.

The tool to pull back the cover is Suction Handle

Something tells me it may work with a 40-50mm diameter suction cup from dollar store as well :-)

The glue used here is the B7000 glue, which can be found on this site under tools or from aliexpress.com.

However, it should be mentioned that it is not required to use other glue than the sticky tape than phone already has, unless you are serious about waterproofing. I removed 98% of all the sticky tape that was there hoping it would be easier to open later. Funny thing is that I still have to use heat lol. Hard to remove all that sticky.
