haha luckily $25 isnt too much, just think you would be getting 2 for 1 really, as the iresq ones are like $90, and im pretty sure there is minimal, if any difference between the iresq ones and the mobiletimes ones (as per the pics someone posted earlier).

i wasnt going to do it but hearing about the white delay today tipped me over the edge.
What's with the camera lens that mobiletimes are offering? How would that be applied?
Also, mine has been shipped. Living in UK means that I will have to wait a week before I get mine though
Just ordered the backplate since I can't stand the white looking front. It's hideous and I don't understand why anyone would buy parts for a white front and back when Apple will eventually supply the phone. Nonetheless, each to their own. I didn't get mine off mobiletimes, was off another eBayer. Will post pictures when it's installed.
Mine shipped last night so hopefully it will just be over a week until it arrives. I'm hoping to get a diffuser from somewhere but maybe it might actually make it worse judging by some peoples pictures on this thread. I hope yours is ok with the diffuser, if it is I will probably order a diffuser of just another back from mobiletimes.

mobiletimes have the camera ring and flash diffuser (someone posted some pics a few posts ago), not sure what you mean?
be sure to post pics
. the more info members have the better .nice one, yea i would see what yours is like first before getting the mobiletimes one. hopefully its just the diffuser that is missing and its the same quality....

Well I was just wondering how you would go about attaching the camera ring and diffuser to the back (may sound like a stupid question, but I'm not much of an expert on this!). And don't worry, I will certainly be posting some pictures. Would be sometime next week since mine was shipped on Monday from Canada I believe.
Damn just spotted this one for 27£ shipped with camera and diffuser

Hmm it could very well just be the camera angle the picture was taken from but if not, it looks like the Apple logo on the back of that case is darker and more black than what it should be (a more silver, shinier look).

yea i saw that one, however i dont really trust anything from China lol. Plus nowhere on the description does it say it is OEM. I dont really mind paying the extra to get it from USA (faster shipping) and have it officially OEM.
edit: i reckon that £27 is the one you got, but without the diffuser.
oh i see sorry mate, yea they already come pre installed. All you need to do is remove the back housing and switch them round
. easy as pie.
Yeah I think that is just the camera angle I have seen it like that in alot of pictures of the White back. Depending what i reflecting onto the back it could look different colours or shades. I don't see any difference from pictures alone of these and the more expensive ones used by the companys that swap out the full iPhone.
Hmm mine didn't come with a tracking ID. It was send via 'Small Packets International Air' delivery. Let us know the status of your delivery.
Los Angeles.
Packaged very well. In bubble wrap and a cardboard box.
No issues. Perfect fit. Note, there is plastic coverings on the inside and outside of the camera lens cover. Didn't realize it was on the inside at first and the pictures were pretty blurry. had to take the back off again to remove it.

nice thanks. Seems like mobiletimes is a good seller then. Hope its the same when i get mine. And thanks for the info about the plastic covers, i thought there looked to be one looking at the pics in the item description on ebay.
whats your take on the quality? as good as the official black covers?
Ok just for everyone's information i got this seller to mail me an oem flash diffuser for 7$ shipped to the uk. He has shipping listed for 40$ but i asked him for flat shipping and he agreed to make it that cost. its great if you have not got one in your backplate and would like to buy one. The guy is a pleasure to deal with also an honest seller!!

the title says "Back housing For iPhone 4G Repair white"
but the advert says "Black housing For iPhone 4G"
and again further down "1 pcs x Black housing For iPhone 4G White assembly (camera ring and flash diffuser)"
Good looking out. I didn't buy this backplate but thanks for ponting that out. I've edited my post so nobody accidentally buys that and they get the wrong one sent to them.
got mine in today after a week long delay. same as OEM back and comes with rings and diffuser. I could care less about images being washed out as I never use the 'flash'.
Can you post some pics of your backplate please?
his pics are above
looks decent! cant wait to get mine, got the exact same one
How did I miss those pics? Duurrr
Yeah it look very nice I hope mine is good I got my diffuser on the way now too
