Electronic devices increasingly come with glued displays and batteries. And while the adhesive seal serves as a protection against dirt and water, it complicates the opening procedure of the device and hence its repair.

The iOpener: Warm it through, unstick the glue!

With the help of our iOpener, you can easily and quickly loosen adhesive without risking damage to your device due to overheating with a heat gun. Originally designed for opening Apple iPads, the iOpener is just as suitable for Samsung tablets, Sony smartphones, and devices from any other manufacturer who prefers adhesive over screws.

How it works

Heat the iOpener and place it on your device: Simply heat up the iOpener in the microwave or a pot of boiling water and position it on the edge of your device. The heat will soften the adhesive without damaging your gadget so you can insert an opening pick between the display and the case. Repeat this procedure for all glued areas, the iOpener is reusable any number of times.

Use opening tools to remove adhesive residue: With the right tools, you’re now ready to open your device without hassle. The opening picks are sharp-edged enough to cut through the adhesive strips. Complete the opening procedure by prying up the case with an opening tool or lift your display with a suction cup or an iSclack.

A must-have for electronic repairs

The most annoying part of your repair is done, the rest will be almost a cinch. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, the iOpener should be part and parcel of every toolbox worthy of its name.

iOpener | New / Tool Only

It’s useful most of times, I say that because if you have an old phone, just prying it up with clampy or other clamps and adding some isopropyl alcohol (91% alcohol) does the same work I do recommend it if you have newer phone, adhesive on new phones are way harder to pull out

As this was my first attempt to open a smartphone, I was scared to use my heat gun, so I bought this. While it's technically effective, I'll probably use my heat gun next time, as it would be faster and more efficient. It's definitely a great tool for beginners though.
