iPhone 4 with oem white back cover

Thank you so much for the video. Would be better if you had a tripod, just saying. 🙂

One thing concerns me. The heat shield is missing from the white back plate. I wonder if it will cause discoloration as heat builds up from the battery.
 
Thank you for posting this. I was going to pull the trigger myself. I guess I'm going to hold off. Thank you for the video.

One thing I've noticed that's kinda odd. The white back plate does not have a Flash Diffuser over the LED Flash hole. Which makes me think this is not an OEM back plate.

To the OP, did your white back plate have a diffuser?

I don't think it's a bad thing that there's no diffuser. OEM or not it's good quality, IMHO. If anything, I think the flash will be more efficient without the diffuser.

I just installed mine. There is no diffuser in the flash. Otherwise, this is absolutely OEM. It feels and fits exactly like the original back. I checked the original back and it looks as though the diffuser is an addition to the flash. Looks like it is glued on. It's such a minor detail though.
 
Here's mine. White on White

Well there it is. Thumbs up!!! If you have $125 of course.

And guess what? It's sold out!!!

So there's quite a few who have $125 to spare. =D
 
That white bumper with white back looks pretty good. I imagine the full white iPhone with white bumper might look really nice.
 
back glass with housing

actually for it to be shipped they are making very little money because here in china you can buy it for about 102-110 usd. for the Front full assembly black or white with LCD and same with the back Full housing glass .. they do sell here for about 7 usd . just the white glass but it has no mounting brackets. so you have to use your original ones from the black housing. cant see a color difference when its on the phone..
 
Flash Defuser Hole

If all these backs are Genuine Apple items why is it just a hole where the flash is and no defuser?

I am thinking about buying a complete back but don't like it just being an empty hole, especially for $120+

Could someone maybe let me know if they have bought a COMPLETE back and confirm if they have the defuser or not?

Thanks

Mike

The white front looks hideous IMHO.

White Back/Black Front/White Bumper FTW!!!

I agree. Black front and white back is exactly what I wanted. If Apple is having trouble producing the white front they should just sell these instead.

Fit perfectly and finish is spot on the original black. Definitly OEM.

I have the same white back and agree with this. It fits exactly like the original black back. As far as I can tell, the glass is the same as well. I use my iPhone naked and have no scratches on it so far. I'd think that if it was some cheap third-party knockoff it would scratch much easier than the OEM glass.
