Slide the opening pick along the top edge of the iPad, pulling it out slightly to go around the front-facing camera bracket.

The adhesive along this section is very thick, and a fair amount of force may be required. Work carefully and slowly, making sure to not slip and damage yourself or your iPad.

If the adhesive has cooled too much, replace the iOpener along the top edge and continue working. If the iOpener has cooled too much, reheat it.

If the opening pick is getting stuck in the adhesive, "roll" the pick as shown in step 9.
