Unlike the original HTC One, there's no need to Heat The Case of the M9. After removing the top panel's screws, we get straight to business with an opening pick to Handle Those Clips.

We use our trusty pick to rent the phone in twain carefully separate the rear case from the body of the phone.

The bottom clips are particularly stubborn, but so far, no adhesive!

As we pop the rear case of the M9, we get our first view of the tender morsels inside. At first glance, this new HTC One closely resembles the M8.
