Method 1: Using a Hammer and Chisel
Gather your tools. You will need:
- A hammer

Prepare the case. Place the case on a flat, sturdy surface. Cover the case with a cloth or towel to protect it from scratches.
Position the chisel. Place the chisel at the edge of the glass. Hold the chisel firmly in place with one hand.
Strike the chisel with the hammer. Use the hammer to strike the chisel sharply. Be careful not to hit the chisel too hard, or you could break the glass.
Continue striking the chisel. Continue striking the chisel until the glass cracks. Once the glass is cracked, you can use your hands to break it open.
