It's got a little dusty on the screen, and I need to take off the front and clean inside. Is there any easy way to do that?

Going by the tutorial you posted, all I need to take the front cover off is a blunt table knife

My phone was dropped and the front panel came 'loose'. After I squeezed it back together I noticed there was loads of dust on the screen. I imagine the front just pops off so I can clean it. I'm also going to update my phone through SEUS today, an then it'll be like brand new

all you need to do is to take out the 2 screws at the very bottom (near the charge port) and go around the edge of the front facia with something like an old sim card.

that works a treat and also saves time

Thanks for the link. It was easy to take the cover off and put it back on, although one of the little catches seemed to be broken on it. It's no longer dusty inside, so thanks again.
