Before you begin, switch off your phone.

Step 2

              Insert the iFlex

Secure a suction handle to the bottom of the rear glass, as close to the edge as possible.
If the phone’s rear glass is cracked, the suction handle may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction handle in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.
Lift the rear glass with the suction handle to create a small gap between the glass and the frame.
