Good Morning,

I have a huge problem when customers come to me for their ipad to be repaired with dents on the corner (see pics attached). is there a pry tool, a grinder of some sort that can help or will sand paper work. The has to be a way to shape the frame back to its original form in order to properly set the new screen in instead of cutting and adjusting the bezel and using super glue. Some please advise.

A combination of sanding, filing, and bending is the best you can do. For the sanding get some emery cloth. Bending is the hard part, as I'm sure you've learned how brittle the aluminum is. You can try lightly tapping it out with a hammer and chisel or rounded awl.
 
This is a bit hard to deal with as the back part as PohTayToez said is aluminum. Most repairman wouldn't really accept it as it is a risky job.
