3. Insert the flat end of the Jimmy into the seam located between the fabric cover on the right side of the seam.
4. Pry upward on the fabric cover to release plastic clips on the right side of the seam.

5. Insert the flat end of the Jimmy into the seam between the fabric cover at the center of the seam and the left side of the seam.
6. Use the Jimmy to pry open the edge with the rubber texture, releasing the remaining plastic clips.

7. Use your hands to gently open the two halves of the casing and slide the fabric cover off of the interior housing.

8. Use an iFixit opening tool, to softly pry open each side of the button cover.
