    • Insert the spudger between the two pieces of the case around the media ports and pry them apart.

    • We found the best way to get the spudger inside the case was to insert in into the SD card slot. Be sure to only insert the spudger a shallow amount and be careful not to damage any of the inside of the device.

    • Finish unsnapping each plastic piece holding the device together along the bottom.

    • Move the spudger down the rest of the case, separating each side, and finally the top.

    • Pull the back off and place it to the side.

    • Without a back panel for protection, be sure place your device on the table screen-side down to avoid damaging the internal circuitry.

    • Unclip the connector that attaches the camera to the motherboard.

    • For more information on unclipping connectors see this How To Guide

    • Do not pull on the camera until you're sure that it's unclipped, the gold connection will rip.

    • Gently pop the camera out of the connector and off the case.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
