Can you take back off Samsung A40 without damaging it?

Have a new A40 phone. I know with old samgsungs there was a little pinhole or groove that you could easily take the back off with. I just bought one of those yoshi magnet things for holding your phone in the car. My understanding is you place a magnet on the inside of the back of your case.But when I went to remove the back it didn't seem as easy as before. Dont want to force it if it will damage phone.

Back is glued down, so you would need to apply heat to unseal it.

Usually you would place the magnet between your device and external case. Not the back cover of the device itself?


Or get a case with magnet builtin as @Sir Dosser suggested below.

Better off buying something like this.

I got it and am happy with it. It has the round magnet built into the case. Good quality and fit.

Also if you placed it on the inside of the phones casing the magnet would be facing the wrong way.

Or just buy a cheap case (eg tpu) and place the metal plate inside that case?
