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
 
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

Welcome to MacRumors = mike..reynolds = 3 posts

Your right on both points. =D

That being said. Still loving my Black & White iP4
 
can anyone confirm whether iResQ is still sold out? I checked their site and they dont have any parts listed.
 
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.
