Dang IT! Broken glass back :(

[aham23]

4s fell out of my pocket from a chair onto a ceramic floor, BAM, back glass cracked near the edge. Pretty sure impact was on a corner. So sad, but it happens.

So where can I get real replacement back glass and is it easy to do. Much thanks.

You can get one here at http://www.sw-box.com/Wholesale-iPhone-4S-Back-Covers.html they have the more expensive oem ones or their version which is about 1/4 the price. I havent bought any back covers from this site so I cannot give first hand experience but other reviewers have given their products a thumbs up.

Removing the back plate is pretty simple. I think the 4s uses a pentalobe type screw which is located near the speaker/mic area. After unscrewing, just push the back plate up and it pops out easily. If you dont have a pentalobe screwdriver I think sw-box sells one for a cheap price as well.

Hope this helps.

I use an aluminum back I got form ebay. Looks cool and took 2 min to install. Use a rubber bezel and a xoskin on the screen so it doesnt happen to your front

I heard replacement backs are either $25 or $30 from the apple store. Give it a shot.

I picked one form sw-box and it was pretty easy to install. It said it was OEM but who really knows when stuff comes from China. Everything still looks the same when I take pictures and videos so I am happy.

I have tried invisible shield on my previous iphones and was not impressed.
After 2 months with my wrapsol, I am very impressed.
I have not dropped it yet, but it's simply just a matter of time -

ifixit just released a clear back with a kit for $30. If I broke the back of my phone I would totally use it as an excuse to get this kit

They will install at apple store for 29 dollars.

this. or you can get it on ebay for around $10 and do yourself (ridiculously easy). but check your screws on the bottom - if they are not philips head then you'd need to pick up a pentalobe screwdriver too ($5 or so).
