Trying to use the iOpener to heat my Pixel 3 case open a wedge a pick in there. Been trying for 30 minutes now, going to try applying the iOpener to other parts, not just the bottom. Any tips? It seems like as soon as I get a little bit of gap with the suction cup (using two hands), I reach for the pick and then it clams closed again. Thanks!

I know this question is very old but I used a heat gun for mine and it worked well. The iOpener wouldn’t let me open it at all.
