We need to heat the surface of the back cover to a temperature of approximately 70 degrees Celsius or 160 degrees Fahrenheit. For this we use a heating mat, you can use a hair dryer.

And after 5 to 7 minutes, we can move on to detaching the back cover. To detach the back cover, we use a thin plastic film, but first we use a thin metal tool to create a small gap between the middle cover and the back cover, where we insert the thin plastic film and start running the plastic film along the edge, cutting off the adhesive base.

Usually, we need to be careful around the cameras when detaching the back cover, but in our case the camera cover comes separately and the back cover is glued around the camera cover, so that's something we need to pay attention to.
