The battery in my phone burned out, so I ordered a replacement from Amazon. Examining the case, I can't find any fasteners. Do I open it with an oyster knife?

Check YouTube. It's surprising how many people put how to videos on it. Rumble might have some too.

A sharpened paint scraper is the unofficial tool of choice.
Be careful though missing fingers are hard to replace.

If you want to make an "official tool purchase" to ameliorate the lawyers, buy a "spudger" on fleabay or amazon :) E.g.

I recently had to replace the timer on our clothes washer. I would have really messed up without YouTube.

It may take a while to find it, but Youtube has repair/replace for allmost anything that has been made. Ioften go there even if I think I know that to do as there is often a small bit of information that makes the job much easier. YOu do have to pay attention as some of the advice will really mess up you item as some do not know what they are doing.

Not sure what version but here is a place you can get a kit fro about $
30 including the battery to do the job. There is vidio on how it is done. From a quick look you force it open and there are screws inside to hold some things in.

Maybe you are talking about an Apple 'phone made by slave labor in Communist China..

A friend had a German made coffee machine that had crapped out. He took it apart and found a video that claimed a common failure was a particular power transistor. He asked me to help and I found a suitable replacement and soldered it in. I tried to emphasize how important it would be to take pictures of every connector (there were plenty) so we could get it back together. He slap dashed the pictures and it took us some time to gain enough confidence of the wiring to turn it on. It worked and the wife was again happy.
