I changed my backplate to a brushed aluminum one lately and made sure I secured the screws but I noticed today one is missing and the other is loose. I went online trying to locate somewhere that sells them but I have had no luck. Anyone know if I can call apple and just say a screw fell out of the original back plate or know where I can find one online? Thanks
Got a tip for us?

I was reading in the iphone accessories forum how the screw holes for the metal backs are bigger than the original, so the screws are prone to fall out. I doubt new screws are going to fix that, but hopefully you can find a fix. Someone suggested some sort of screw glue, but I don't know how that smart is if you need to disassemble it in the future.
