- Do not apply heat to any one edge of the phone for longer than a few seconds. Instead, use a continuous motion around the phone’s edges.

Step 2
- While the screen adhesive is still warm and flexible, insert a pry tool or plastic card between the glass display and the frame of the phone.
- Slowly slide another pry tool around all the edges of the phone in order to break the adhesive’s bond to the display.
- When using the pry tool, do not use too much force or the phone’s internals could be damaged.
