Introduction
After removing the back cover and the battery from the Samsung Mythic SGH-a897, the rear case must be removed to reach the motherboard. The tools needed are the iFixit Opening Tool to remove the rear casing and a screwdriver to remove six 5mm Phillips #0 screws.

Hi Rachelle, yes an iFixit opening tool or our Spudger would work great to remove the back of the phone. We also have a Prying and Opening Tool Assortment that has a number of items to get into devices safely. Hope this helps!
