replacing the back cover. tools required.

I know I need a torx T5 screwdriver, but do I need the "plastic phone opening pry tool"? Can I use something laying around the house, like a butter knife or something?

I use a stiff guitar pick as a pry tool. Never had any issues.

I've used my thumbnail, both on the N4 and on iPhones. I wouldn't use anything metal, though, and yes, I've broken my thumbnail a few times doing it.
