Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Rear Glass Replacement

Heat an iOpener and apply it to a long edge of the phone for about two minutes.

• You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the phone warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.
• A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the OLED display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

Once the back panel is warm to the touch, apply a suction cup as close to the heated edge of the phone as you can while avoiding the curved edge.

• The suction cup will not adhere well on the curved portion of the glass.
• If the phone's back cover is cracked, the suction cup may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction cup in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.

Lift on the suction cup and insert an opening pick under the rear glass.

• Due to the curved glass, you will be pushing up, rather than inserting parallel to the plane of the phone.
• If you have trouble, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive, and try again. The adhesive cools very fast, so you may need to heat it repeatedly.

Once you have the pick firmly inserted into the glass, reheat and reapply the iOpener to soften the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick up along the side of the phone, separating the adhesive.

Leave the pick in place and grab a second pick as you proceed to the next step. Leaving the pick inserted can help prevent the glue you just separated from re-adhering.

Repeat the previous heating and cutting procedure for the remaining three sides of the phone.

Leave an opening pick on each side as you continue to the next to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Lift the glass and remove it from the phone.
