Chosen Solution

I Dont have an i opener and i was wondering if i could use anything else that does the same exact thing as the iOpener. Thanks

A heating pad or a heat gun. :)

I know this is a bit late ;>)… If you are a shop and will be doing iPad repairs on a regular basis, then a heated mat station like this is the preferred solution. However, if this is for a one-off, the these “Magic Bags” work really well. This one is large enough to cover an entire iPad making it perfect for a digitizer replacement and you can use it at home when you have sore muscles.
