I was in the same boat, it's tough because all of the cheaper sellers don't seem to have them anymore. Basically, I found one I thought looked good for the price. If it doesn't work out and/or looks like crap, I will just spend the extra for iResQ.
My god people are crazy!! This seller is making ridiculous amounts of cash on these fake covers. http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-iPhone...Accessories&hash=item4aa2df77e1#ht_2019wt_921
That's got to be a wrong price I have seen that guy selling those for 40£ not so long ago.
Since Apple has yet to produce and sell a White iPhone.....How could any of these replacement parts be considered OEM?? Obviously they aren't. Why, because Apple doesn't even have a white phone yet with parts.
Everything that's white is going to be a Chinese knock off at this point, until Apple starts producing and selling White phones that fix whatever issue is holding up it's release.

of course Apple have produced white iphones - how do you think they tested them
there is a possibility that Apple produced MANY white iphone parts however noticed something wrong at the last minute - hence why they delayed it. The parts these companies have could possibly be these pre-produced parts.
I think these parts did originate from the foxxconn factory. The reason why I think the White iPhone was scrapped is because they could not get the White colour consistent in all the phones. If two people buy an iPhone and one White colour is off that person will take it back to apple. If that happens on all large scale apple have a big problem hence no White iPhones.
These parts were due for scrap but somehow found there way out of the factory and into the hands of suppliers. Thats what I think anyway

i think it was down to flash issues personally.
not many electronic devices that use flash are typically white. I believe Apple had too much of a problem getting consistent results when taking photo's with a white iPhone. We even see it here on the forum, the odd member will have no problem taking photos using flash, however another member will have problems.

Just got my diffuser! Lol nothing much to look at but it looks the same as the one in the iphone.
Let me know how you installed the diffuser, I think the camera ring i can applie some glue around the edge, but I'm not sure how to make the diffuser stick.
Well the guy I bought it from said you can glue it in with clear glue. I wanted to see of anyone can tell from there backplate (when taken off) how the diffuser is glued in. Is it just round the sides at the top or is it directly glued in with a blob a glue?
When I switched mine, it just seemed to be stuck onto a blob of glue. In fact, it oozed out from under the diffuser a bit before hardening and I was thinking that seemed kind of sloppy compared to everything else about the piece. The white back I replaced it with was a bit more tidy.
Good to know thanks. I have got some super glue gel that dry's clear so i will be using that. Pictures will be taken when i do this for reference.
