Here you goI’m all for easy. I’ll look for a video.
I used one of the plastic types of lifters like you would get in a cell phone repair kit. The using of metal made me a bit nervous. As soon as the cover is off the buttons actually fall right out. I was careful not to allow anything to touch the inside where the glue is on the plate and the cover so here was enough to put it back on.
eta it looks like the mini is the same type of construction except it has more of a plate closer to the usb port. Just go slow and all will be fine. I think he said to always start lifting near the usb port. It was just super easy to do
