update to mine and Taylors question.

you just have to apply a little more force and be very very careful not to bend the super thin metal frame.

same as above, its the vents as well as the wifi antenna i think.

it seems to be solid in the center part. like the metal is pressed im place and not meant to be removed.

there is no mention of just how strong the adhesive actually is. i might go as far as to say this has been one of he hardest i have ever had to separate. its a combination of the strength of the adhesive and the amount of it to get through. i use a heat mat rather than a heat gun as its far better than the gun.. been able to control the temperature by 1 degrees up to 100. also the digitizer runs right to the edge of the glass, so its possible to damage it while trying to remove the screen.
