Lifeproof is a case for your tablet or smartphone designed to resist dirt and liquids, and prevent damage when dropped. If you have one, maybe your device has been saved several times by this case. Apart from the material, Lifeproof is able to do this because it sticks firmly to the device. It's a very good tool, but there are times when you have to let it go! You can't remove the Lifeproof case like you would with a regular case. You must do this carefully so that the case is not damaged and can be used again in the future.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Removing the Back Case
Step 1. Open the charging port cover on the bottom of the tablet or phone
Some Lifeproof cases place the charging port on the bottom of the device. Open the charging port cover using your fingernail.
Cases that are not waterproof may not have a charging port cover. Skip this step if your device doesn't have one
Step 2. Look for a small slot near the charging port
This small slit has a thickness of about 2 cm. The slot is most likely on the right side of the charger when the phone is held up and is used to place the case key. This tool serves to make it easier for you to remove the casing.
Some devices may have 2 slots, one on each side at the bottom of the device
Step 3. Slide the case key into the slot to separate the case
The Lifeproof case comes with a small piece of plastic (case lock) which is used to separate the back and front cases. The slot is in the lower right corner of the device. Slide the case lock into the slot, then twist to separate the case. Next, move the case lock to the top of the phone to separate the top from the bottom of the case.
- Continue this step slowly until you hear a clicking sound. This clicking sound indicates that the front and back of the case have separated.
- If your device has 2 slots, repeat this step on the other slot.
- If you don't have a case key, use a coin that can be tucked into the slot.
Step 4. Slide your thumb between the two halves of the case to separate them
Once you've managed to separate the front and back cases using a case key or a coin, slide your thumb between them. Next, move your thumb carefully around the case until the back is completely removed.
The clicking sound will be heard again when the other side of the latch is opened
Method 2 of 2: Removing the Front Case
Step 1. Place the mobile device on a soft surface
When removing the phone from the case, there is a possibility that the device will be thrown. It's a good idea to be safe and complete the next step in a soft location, such as a couch or bed.
Step 2. Use your thumb to press the front of the case
Turn the phone over until the screen is on top. Press the screen gently with your thumb. Do this in the center of the case.
Step 3. Pull the side of the case up until you hear a click
When your thumb presses on the screen, use your other finger to pull the side of the case up. If you hear a click, it means the phone has been successfully removed from the case.
