Steps:

1. Pry open the back panel by inserting the plastic opening tool on the left of the camera. We find this spot the easiest to get the tool under the panel.

2. Once you get an open spot, with a second plastic opening tool, slide down to the bottom of the phone to free the rest of side.

3. There is adhesive between the battery and the back panel. Take a nylon spudger to cut through the adhesive.
