Submerge it on water to soften the connections.
Seriously though, just lay it down flat, place your fingertips beneath the edge closest to the buttons and lift up. Pops right off. Gets a bit easier as it breaks in. It's a sturdy bit of design.

Is there a right way to remove the official book cover from my 8.4? The thing is held real tight against my tablet, so a part of me is afraid I might rip something out by accident if I pull too hard. Even the official instruction sorta says not to?

Best way I've found.
Close cover over tablet face. Don't close the magnetic flap.
lay the tab face down . Screen should be covered from step 1
Lift back flap
Place hand on back of tablet where you lifted flap.
light press now and pull up on flap.
should unsnap easy

That's what worked for me. Just grab as close to the lift of the flap as possible.

after playing around i found that the leather cover has magnet on the handle which sticks on the back side of pro 2 when the flip is closed, and most interesting thing what i found was if that magnet is exposed over the phone call , or phone end button ,it triggers the power on, after i removed that magnet from the leather cover and i don't have any issues, so guys please be ware while selecting the leather case, at least try it once if you are willing to get one with magnet

Nothing wrong with you phone. The phone goes on when you slide your keyboard out. This is triggered with a magnet. Some leather cases have there magnet on the bottom side of the phone. This is where this triggers is placed. So I would ask you money back and look for a cover that has no magnetic lock, or one with a the lock in the middle/side (book wise) Or like mine on the top as PDAIR has done.

Do you have EXACTLY THE SAME case as you showed on url - from NOREVE manufacturer?
Take a look at this thread :>
Undocumented feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523842
I am using the Noreve case and I didn't have this problem.
I just noticed; that the plastic cover around the phone doesn't form a perfect seal. Is this normal? I can sought of press the left edge of the cover even though the cover is secured on the back of the phone. I don't see any major protrusion. Please let me know, thanks.
Have you tried just pressing it in - sometimes the clips only catch part way. But no, it's not normal to have gaps.
Wow, pressed it hard and it clipped in. Thanks

Yeeeah this just happened to me. We must be unlucky because I can't find anything on this. If you figure out something useful, please post!
I have taken it to two watch jewelers and both said they can't fix, one told me to buy iPhone screen as it comes with the clear double sideed tape that glues the screen in and cut it to the circle shape of the back watch glass.
My first watch it fell off. Got a replacement and also fell off now.

So I had this happen to me recently. I fixed it using double sided tape. Here is how I fixed it:
1. Power off the watch.
2. Using a plastic lid prying tool, I removed all the sticky glue the used to adhere to black disc.
3. Place the black disc on a stripe of double sided tape, so tape sticks to the disc, leaving the backing in place on the other side.
4. Cut the tape to size using the black disc as the guide.
5. Using a razor blade, carefully cut the center of the circle out on the paper backed side. Note: only make the cut with he realized blade
6. Remove the center piece backing and tape with a plastic lid opening too late not scratch the disc.
7. Remove the paper backing on the double sided tape, and stick the disc to the watch back.
Take your time doing this, and the result is pretty good. I doubt the watch is water proof this way, so don't take it swimming, but it should stand up to reason and sweat.
For anyone contemplating these repairs, they turned out to be much simpler than I expected.
Camera lens
The lens can actually be replaced without removing the rear cover of the phone. Simply use a knife to carefully gouge out the broken glass, clean off the old glue, then stick the new ones into place.
Rear cover
I bought an original Xiaomi cover on Ali Express for $60. They seem to be getting more and more scarce, so if you're thinking about doing it, do it sooner rather than later.
To remove, I heated the edges a little with a hairdryer, then wiggled a work knife into the gap and worked my way around, sliding the knife and lifting. Once you get it going it's not difficult, but you need a little patience. Once you get enough done, lift the cover to get the rest of it off.
Be careful with lifting because the fingerprint sensor is attached. To remove it at the phone end, the connector is very small but easy to get off, it's a press-in connector, so just carefully insert the very corner of your knife under the edge and lift. It comes off easily, so if you're having to work at it you're doing it wrong.
To remove the sensor from the old cover, warm it with the hair dyrer, then use a very thin knife or blade and work carefully around the edge. It won't come out until you've worked all the way round, lifting more than cutting. Once out, the glue is recessed slightly, so the sensor stands out and fits into the hole in the cover, which means positioning isn't a problem. You can probably buy the glue piece, but I didn't have it so I just put it back in the new cover using the old glue, I warmed it a bit and then weighted it back in place for a while. It seemed to be pretty firmly in place, and I don't think it's going anywhere anyway once the cover is back on, since it's up against the rest of the phone.
Check around the edges of the phone for remnants of the old glue. It comes out easily, just push a bit with the knife to get the end up, then lift and pull and it'll come out in a single strand.
The replacement cover comes pre-glued, although it's not really glue, more of a sticky seal. Starting at the camera end, position the cover and push it into place. There's a pop when it goes in, and I think even without the glue it would be fine. I then warmed the edges and weighted it down for a while.
Hello comrade, thank you for sharing your experience.
Now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to share with us the links (if XDA allows this kind of links) for the purchase of your spare parts.
Internet is very rough, and in my case, I buy almost everything in Aliexpress, it is very difficult to find good sellers with good prices.
This way, your contribution will be much more complete.
Thanks a lot, and greetings.
Hi
I will attempt a similar replacement but I just have some questions. How did you swap the nfc and wireless charging coil and do you think it is possible to do a "clear" version of the back cover (removing the interior paint)
thank you
I hate the flap so I cut it off and mount the spen on the back with super glue lol
Edit: official glue at the middle. Much easier to hold and avoid rocking when unfold
the only problem with this setup would be that the phone cannot lie flat once unfoldid.

I glue it to the middle now so easier to hold and avoid rocking when unfold. Yes you can glue the other alone but it will look a bit ugly (I did try before - thicker and without spen it does look beat up lol)
I recommend only cutting the top cover flap off and keeping the pen silo portion of the case where it is from factory. I did this today and really like it so far. Thickness of the phone stays the same when pocketed. The pen silo actually acts like a grip for your fingers when the phone is unfolded too

This is what I mean by the pen silo being a grip for your fingers. Acts like a ledge of sorts in landscape orientation. Main problem of course is that when in folded orientation, the pen flaps around a bit - but it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be
Looks good.
Will the pen flaps scratch the screen?

Doubtful. The cover screen is gorilla glass and the inside of the case is micro fiber
I saw this on YouTube. Lol. I don't know what real reason to my the case like this. Nothing help.

I just did this. You solved 2 issues. 1-got rid of the flap and 2-gave support for holding while open. Great idea!

Right! I've been pleasantly surprised just how well cutting the front flap off has worked out. Another plus is that this doesn't interfere with wireless charging. It's pretty comfortable holding the tablet with just my left hand now too

i did try that and the moving part killing me so i cut it off too lol. The spen for me in the middle of the hand when folded create better grip (same with unfold - not moving parts)
What glue did you use for this? I wonder if I could get the stylus to stick to the official silicone case...

Just normal super glue at $.99 cent stores
I'm thinking of buying a stylus holder that you can buy and stick to just about anything. It would look and function just as similar. I hate this case but I'm not sure I want to destroy it yet. Having had a Mate 20 X I'm used to having the stylus separate. Actually still have the leather holder I bought for it.

I'm thinking of doing the same.
Here is what I did. What two pen holders off Amazon for like $15. They have adhesive that connects to any kind of plastic it won't work with metal for some reason. I also got the plastic case off of Amazon and I'm just using the back. It not only works and stays in it but it also wireless charges too even though it's held up slightly

I'm doing something similar. I ordered a couple of these:
in-Line Multi Functional Foldable Stylus Pen Magnetic Holder Comparable with 1st & 2nd Gen, Keeps The Flatness, Supports 2nd Gen Pencil Wireless Charging (Black) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B097H5J78T/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_XP4TF2MJCCFYH0QK4250?psc=1
I liked the idea of one long pen holder instead of two small ones.
Also, if you check Amazon, those Ringke holders you have should be three for $10, not two for $15.
