Find the volume buttons located on the side of the Droid Maxx.
Take the plastic opening tool and insert it into the gap between the volume buttons and the case.
Using the flat tip of the plastic opening tool, press firmly against the case until you hear a “snap” sound.
Remove the buttons carefully. Do not bend or force the part since it also serves as a tray for placing a SIM Card.
