Review on Unlock Your Device With Showpin 3-In-1 Smart Phone Repair Tool by Lance Gunn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An excellent tool set for opening stubborn (read Galaxy S7) glass phone cases

Fantastic and much needed tool to remove stubborn back covers.I tried to remove the curved glass cover on my S7 to replace the battery using a suction cup and guitar pick that came with the replacement unit. Unfortunately with only one suction cup and a curved back cover there is nothing to hold on to and I ended up cracking my cover. After this I bought this kit and had the cover off in no time. You really do need the spludger tool (thin metal blade) and suction cup pliers to open difficult cases. The suction cup pliers allow one handed pulling on the cover with enough force to create a tiny gap that the spludger tool fits into to strat the separation process.Don't be fooled by videos on the internet, opening a fragile glass case (it is about the same thickness as an egg shell) without the proper tools can easily lead to damaging the case. I speak from personal experience here.The only thing missing is the screw drivers needed once inside your phone. Since these vary from phone to phone they are left out of this tool set.

Pros
  • It's great for digital privacy, as it allows only you to access your phone
Cons
  • The device may not be able to fix problems with the phone's speaker
