Using the iFixit plastic opening tool, wedge it into the seam of the bottom plate. This will create a small gap between the sections that you can gently pry open. Work your way around to each side of the device until the bottom pops free.
Caution: DO NOT attempt to fully remove the bottom plate yet, as there are still connected wires. Doing so may result in damage to your device.

Before you completely pull off the back, you must disconnect the MB cord.
Using blunt-nosed tweezers, carefully flip the black bar that keeps the MB cord latched in as circled in the image.
Once open, grab the flat cord with your tweezers and pull horizontally until it comes free. Your bottom plate is now fully removed.
