@james That is the one I ordered but I have not receieved it yet. It does come with the camera bezel but no diffuser. I have spoken to various buyers who have this and they say it is a very good part. I will let you know as soon as I get this. It has been 12 days since I ordered so I'm guessing another week or so until i receive it!
Thanks Jay. I ordered one too; it's been about a week. I'll let you know too when it arrives.
If you want a diffuser you can buy one from this seller in the us. I dont know where your from but he shipped it to me for 4.60£ in the uk.
Its 5$ us!!

You can glue it into the backplate the same as apple do. You can use super glue gel that dry's clear
^ That's the same seller that I got my "expensive" backplate from (pics are coming!), comes highly recommended
THe only problem is all the metal sheilding would completely cover the circuit board anyway so you would not be able to see it. Not sure what would happen if you ran without the sheilds.

Yeah very helpful aswell!! He advised me on how to stick the diffuser onto the backplate. He also let me have the part without having to pay the high shipping price to the uk
nice - my co worker ordered one from ebay..and the item he received turned out to be defective..the (camera) lens on the white cover was all scratched up..
Finished my complete white iPhone conversion
last parts i needed
You can barely even tell lol but it was the last 2 things that showed it was black at one point lol
That looks amazing. How long did it take you? How hard was it? Where did you get your parts from?
Is anyone concerned about getting a standard res display instead of the retina one? Seems like a way manufacturers might cut corners on these parts.
My swap was done at a local shop in Houston, TX. Same guy that has been modding all of my tons of phones over the past nearly 9yrs now. He can do a whole swap in about an hour, but he has been fixing and modding phones since before i ever met him.
I notice no difference on my screens, I have this white one and also an unmodded iphone 4.
My 2 babies in there Otterbox cases lol

you stole my words. If I get a chance to finally own an all white iPhone, it will stay 100% case-free (just like all of my phones have been in the past, and stayed un-damged)
LOL oh my god you have no idea how many people have told me that, No the case on my White phone stays in my truck but when i go to some sites i dont risk it and slap it on. I carry it naked, only used the case one full day and it was to much bulk. The normal iPhone stays in its case.
Nice 1 mate, I trust you removed the small lens protection from the back glass lens?
I have good news, iphonefixed.co.uk have now emailed my tracking number to me, so parts should be here soon. As said, I will document everything with high quality macro shots of all parts.

Questions
i havent been able to find any reviews but which do you think would be best? you have the white back plate from fixit direct or from iresq?

Whoohoo!!! exciting.
I'm still waiting on my backplate coming from HK. No tracking number, alas.
What date did you order it James? I have ordered from the same seller so I'm just interested to see if you have been waiting longer or not.
