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.
