Opening the back panel of Xperia L?

[DeepanshKhurana]

I bought an Xperia L the day it released and I have no problems with the phone. Though people are complaining about the camera experience its just thatcthey need to learn to use the focus, ISO, HDR settings and usage accordingly. The gaming experience is awesome. Music is good, as usual from Sony. The only problem I have is thst I cannot open the back panel. I have a 16 GB Class 10 SD card that I want to insert but I just cannot seem to open the back panel. Can someone teach it to me. Thanks.

LOL....

I know the back cover is little tricky to remove. I faced it too. Fun to read that your 16GB SD card is still outside cuz you cant open the back cover. How did you insert your SIM then?

Anyways, try to pull the cover with your finger nails with force but without too much pressure. Like you pull a string in a guitar. Keep doing that and one of the times your cover will half open.

I cant seem to remove it anyhow. Also, the guy at the Sony showroom did the SIM and all. My SD card was at hom at the time so thats why its still out. I tried to open using the slit in the corner (top right) but I saw in an unboxing video that he opened from the top. This is frustrating me so much.

I know it is tough to open this cover. Better ask someone else to try it. Probably they could do it. I struggled the first time, but now have become expert in opening it. Anyways this cover is not made to open often

Can you at least  tell me how to open it, from the side in the top right or from the top?

[dearbasheer]

I did it from the side where there is a small gap for your fingernails !!

Ive been trying from that since 9 May. 😕 Thanks anyways.

Finally learnt. Went to the Sony Showroom and learnt there. Can open it finally.

How did you do?

Can you explain the method to open without damaging the phone...

The phone is to be opened in steps.

1. Put your fingernail in the side slit to create a gap below the slit i.e. in the direction of the USB port.

2. While holding the gap slide your finger above the slit and put your nail in the curved top.

3. The curved top will open, then slide your finger to open the opposite top side.

4. Finally, slowly move your nail downward on the side which has the power button to open it too.

5. When everything is open loose, all you need to do is pull the cover down from below the phone.
