If you’ve ever had the unfortunate experience of dropping your iPhone 7, you know that it can be a pain to get it back in working order. Luckily, there are a few simple steps you can take to remove the case and get your phone back up and running as quickly as possible.

  1. Remove the battery if possible. This will help reduce the chance of damage to internal components if your phone falls on its face.
  2. Remove any SIM cards or other removable pieces of hardware. This will make it easier to access the internals of the phone should something go wrong while you’re trying to fix it.
  3. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove all screws from around the edges of the phone’s casing. Once they’re removed, gently pry off the casing using a flat object like a credit card or knife blade. Be careful not to damage any internal components in the process!
  4. If necessary, use a vacuum cleaner and/or an air compressor to remove dust and debris from around internal components before reassembling the phone according to instructions provided by Apple or another iPhone repair specialist online or in print magazines like iFixit or Popular Mechanics . ..
