The right edge of the iPad contains the screen magnets, display cables, and a digitizer cable. These components are easily damaged if an opening pick is inserted too far.

Insert a new opening pick in the bottom right corner and slide along the right edge to separate the adhesive. Make sure to note the following marked areas:

Don't insert an opening pick more than 2 mm or you'll damage the screen magnets.

The screen magnets are located directly above the SIM card slot (Wi-Fi + Cellular models only) and volume buttons.

Don't insert an opening pick more than 3 mm or you'll damage the display and digitizer cables.

Don't insert an opening pick more than 5 mm or you'll damage the display edges.

Leave the pick in the top right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
