This is the back of the device and where you will begin to take it apart.

Use a metal spudger to pop up the corner of the silver piece.
Use the plastic opening tools to pry along the edges of the silver piece.
Lift up the silver piece to reveal the rest of the back cover.

Using the plastic opening tools pry along the bottom of the device, moving to the sides of the cover to the top.
Remove the back cover.
