pg 13 shows you how to remove the back

 

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let us know how you like the phone.

 

I am tagging on here because you provided that nice link above to help me with the same issue. It all makes sense, and I found the small indentation right at the lower left corner of my phone back. My question is, do I need a special tool to pry the back off? I tried with a screwdriver that was approximately the same size as the slot. I carefully twisted it, but the case failed to pop open. I seemed to have gouged the plastic a little so I abandoned it, hoping I could get more info here. If you can provide a link to (or name of) the tool used, I'd be so, so grateful.

 

i don't think there is a specific tool to remove the back. the notch on the corner looks like it a coin can fit in and be used to pop the back open.

 

Thanks ocnbrze!

 

I have a Quest 5 phone, I looked at the page in the manual specified above, and there IS NO notch on my phone. I need to remove the back to put in the battery and SIM cards, but I CAN"T!

 

I can't find a notch anywhere and I need to install the battery and SIM card. There is no notch where the buttons are. There is one kinda where the power cord plugs in but I am worried about damaging the port.

 

Mine does not have a notch anywhere. Been fighting this monster for 2 days!!! Ready to attack with a hammer!

 

I have a new ZTE quest 5 as well. It does not have the notches. What you have to do is work your thumbnails into the split at the bottom of the phone. The split nearest to the screen, and gently pry it apart.
