if anyone is interested i am going to sell my white backplate (pics a few pages back).

realised i want to go the full whack and get the whole phone done from a company over here in the UK.

PM me if interested.

I want mine done aswell but this is my problem. If my phone is damaged and needs replacing under insurance I will have to get the White parts changed out because I couldnt send it back like that for obvious reasons. If I could fit the parts myself I would get it done asap!

yea see your point. If i was to ever damage it i probably wouldnt mind sending it back to them for repair anyway. i dont really bother with insurance.

Yeah I understand and maybe i should cancel my insurance but it's a small
Price to pay if I lose it or it is stolen. I may still get it done and just hope for the best lol!

I can't PM you at the moment, but I'm based in the UK and will take the white back off you. *sorted* is my email address, I can bank xfer or Paypal. Cheers !

iresq and ifixdirect are out of stock of backplate replacements for the white version. Anyone here know another place that has them?
 
The website doesnt say they are out of stock though, does anyone know if they ship to canada?
 
Just to let you guys know, there is a white back replacement out now that comes with the black outer edges instead of white
 
Here ---> http://www.sw-box.com/Iphone-4-Back-Cover-White-Black-Inside-Oem-.html

In your opinions which one do you think looks better? Full white? or the one i just posted

has anyone bought it from that site? It's a fair price (at least one im willing to pay for) and I'd be interested to know what anyone thinks of it, how does it stack up against the 80 dollar ones?

i've ordered numerous housings off ebay before, and 100% of the time it's never "OEM" though they say it's OEM. There's just always a certain small flaw that makes it evident to you that the product aint OEM.
 
I ordered from the website already, sent a couple emails back and forth with questions before i orderd, ill let you guys know about the quality when i get it.
 
Just an Update, I found a "quality" one off ebay http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...272215&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3347wt_997
Guy says its "brand new original Apple" I'll assume he means "OEM" if that's even possible with these white iphone backs :p.

I'll see how the quality is, He says 29.99, but i offered 25 bucks, and he took it, perhaps you could offer 22 or even 20 and maybe they will sell at that price too.

Hopefully it'll be as advertised, otherwise, I'll ask for a refund, I'll make sure to take pics when it arrives.

link? im interested in getting a cheap/decent quality backplate
 
thanks! just ordered. eagerly anticipating :D. i should be able to find a suitable phillips screwdriver at any hardware store right? any suggestions?

I think any philips head designed to "fix" glasses should be small enough to fit.

what price did you offer?
 
If anyone is interested, I'm selling my white glass back. I bought it in July from Global Direct Parts for $85 and used it for a few months. This is a very high quality piece compared to some of the other POS pieces for sale, but it is lacking a flash diffuser. I'm currently using my black glass back and have decided to part with the white one. I'll offer it to anyone on MacRumors for $40 plus shipping. If no one here wants it within the next 3 days, I'm listing it on eBay.
