Super glue has a tendency of "melting" plastic in order to attach the two items you wasnt to glue together.
I think that you will have to expect a mark on the phone no matter what you do to remove it.
Try gently picking off the glue with a sharp knife and try to live with the, hopefully, minor marks that will be there.

nail polish remover is supposed to remove super glue, but it might also melt the cover. So try it at at some hidden place first.

super glue can also be weakened by water/moister, though it takes a while.

I subscribe4the zippo idea that would be the most non invasive.

Make sure you use a *mild* acetone solvent...
