What tools you used to remove the screen, I'm going to do the same procedure in the next days and I want to make sure I have everything I need. I have the iOpener from iFixit but I don't know if I should use a heat gun instead.
I used a regular hairdryer (with one of the heads that focuses the airflow) on the medium setting. The rest of the tools I just used what came with the new case-- it comes with a big locking suction cup and some thin plastic cards (think credit cards but thinner) for sliding under the edge of the screen to separate the adhesive.
