Step 3. Open the back cover

Take a thin plastic tool to detach the back cover.

We put it in the hole between the back cover and the display frame and run it along detaching the clips. Once we have a gap - we can use a thicker tool.

Always be careful around the side buttons and the fingerprint sensor, because in these places are the buttons themselves and there may be cables and they can be accidentally damaged.

We also need to be careful on the corners, because the cover is held extremely tightly on the corners.

And when we open the back cover, with one finger we have to press the fingerprint sensor on the cover, just in case. Because the sensor goes separately and may be glued to the back cover.
