Mine didn't come with a screwdriver. How can I get the back off? Verizon and Apple stores I checked with don't have the screwdriver either..

Mine didn't ether so I put the screws in a corner until I could find a screwdriver but then I lost them so I ended up just leaving it without the screws.

If you don't have a screwdriver then you can't open the back cover. You have to have it. If you have it then unscrew and place your thumb on the back cover and move down your thumb with back cover it will open the back cover by sliding down the back.

I took a razor blade and rubbed the point on the concrete until it was flat enough to fit in the screws and did it very careful. It sucked but it worked .

You need to buy a Pentalobe Screwdriver For iPhone 4. It's a special star tip. I just checked and you can buy one on Amazon. Good luck!

None. And you may need a special screwdriver to get it out if apple put a pair of their flowery-shaped screws on the outside. If the screws at the bottom are regular old (very small) Phillips screws, you're good to go with a tiny Phillips head. Like as not though you'll need a special screw driver. Once you have one though, replacing the battery is easy-peasy, take 5 minutes. Might need a little plastic splurger to gently pry up the cable but that's easy enough.

contact Apple Care first. Otherwise you have to take it to an Apple store for inspection

It did not come with tools. Other iPhone 4 parts do come with tools. It usually states that in the product description.

You need to pull hard as it is a tight fit case.If that fails you can wedge a small screw driver in between the case and the nut at the back of the case and then pull again.I am convinced it won't be necessary though.Hope this helps and enjoy a great tool!!!

There are two small screws at the bottom of the phone near the charging port. Remove those with the tool provided. Then slide the back glass upwards (it may take a bit of wiggeling) and pull it off. Finally place the new glass on by sliding it down the back and screw the screws back into their holes.

No this did not come with installation tools. I had actually already purchased a little toolkit when I first bought just the glass replacement. I found that the screwdriver didn't really fit well for the iPhone and after reading other postings discovered that a specific size of phillips head was needed. I think it was a size 0. Radio Shack had a kit that included an 'iPhone' screwdriver. But with the full assembly there was no need for the screwdriver - that was only to replace just the glass. Watch some of the videos on line for full replacement and you'll see what you need.

There should've been a yellow paper with two stickers on take off the one shaped like an apple put it on the back of the apple gem and peel off the back and place on the back of the phone do the same for the home button and other questions email the company they are way helpful!!

I had the same problem. I ended up using a credit card to pry it out of the case so I didn't scratch my phone. I hope that helps.

Please, i followed the instructions and removed the one screw. There is no way as i understood it on how to remove the back...there is nothing to get hold of to pull back...unless, one pulls back where the battery is removed,,that is the only place one can get its hands with a grip...but its so tight as i tried to pull back, i was afraid that i may break it. You all make it sound so simple. Could someone supply a picture of how to grip the back? Plus, why doesn't Acer show how its done in their phd ?

No it does not come with the screw drivers. The screw driver i purchased on amazon seperately was very poorly made and stripped the screws and screw driver itself while trying to screw in the cover. Your best bet is to bring the cover and screws to an Apple store and ask an employee to install it for you. Apparently theyre not allowed to do this but it worked for me. dont waste time and money buying the online screw drivers

I used a small plastic prying tool I used to fix iPhones, along with the screwdrivers used to fix the iPhone. Ifixit.com or YouTube has a video on how to replace it, it was very simple.

Tom, thanks for the question. No it does not come with the Penelobe screwdriver required to open it. I already have about 4 of them, so for me it was okay. There are some companies on amazon that sell them but most of the kits end up being junk. If you want a good solid kit, I found that icracked is the best and lasted the longest. Just go to google and search icracked and it will take you to their website. If you're unfamiliar with fixing an iPhone, this is the easiest thing to change so don't waste your money having a professional do it and purchase this back! It's so cheap!

No screwdriver. I found just the battery. It works great. Hope this help, Filippo

I used both screwdrivers (and a few more) and managed to strip all the battery screws. Couldn't get the old battery out and didn't know what to do. Sent away for an extractor set and eventually used a flat screwdriver to get the screws out and replace them. Although the screwdrivers that came with the battery are somewhat helpful, I don't think they're exactly right for the task.By the way, the screws in my computer (a MacBook Pro 16" mid-2009) are pentalobe screws which are really unique - a pentalobe screwdriver might work on it, or it might not. I'd try a flat screwdriver, a lot of patience, and some pressure before buying a pentalobe screwdriver if you don't already have one.

You'll need to remove the belt clip first. Then, with a flat head screw driver pry the bottom of the back cover off. There is a small area to place the screw driver, just apply a little pressure and it should pop off easily.

It isn't that easy. There wasn't anything very helpful online. If you kept your receipt it may be noted in the product description. I didn't find an answer so just guessed (and lucked out). Also you might your Apple store. Good luck!
