Just Got My White Glass Backplate For My iPhone 4

[Queen of Spades]

Just got mine today - I absolutely love it! The quality is great, no fitment issues, and all is well with the camera/diffuser. It was worth the wait, and I'm happy with the product I received for the price I paid.

Will try and post some pics later.

edit: in case anyone is interested, I got mine from jumble bay. They have US and UK auctions.

Anyone from the US ordered an eBay one that was shipped from hong kong? How long till you got it? I've been waiting for about four weeks now.

There are new restrictions in the US customs so it's taking a longer time.

Hey congrates for this I too wants to change by back cover but they refused to change it as it was a second hand phone that I purchased and I dont have the original bill.

An update from the seller:


As a response, I asked if he can ship me the camera ring instead. I gave him some links to China wholesalers, perhaps he can get them locally. Hopefully that can solve the issue. I'm already sorta "out" $18, so I don't feel it would help by spending $15 (not $3 as he believes) to ship back to China.

If you guys only think about low rate not the quality.......then must be any china product......but if you are thinking about best quality with lowest price ever~~Chinabuye has simply no alternative

Timeline:
Nov18th: Bought a White Glass Back Panel on ebay for $23 +free shipping. Diffuser and Assembly are included or so the seller claimed
Nov19th: Item Shipped
Nov25th: Ebay send me an email saying the item I bought was a counterfeit and the listing is removed. Gave me a link to get my money back
Nov26th: The item left the country of origin - Hong Kong
Nov29th: The item arrived at the custom of country of destination - Canada

Well I'm assuming they are saying it's a counterfeit Apple doesn't like people selling the white backs.
http://www.9to5mac.com/35527/apple-removing-fake-white-iphone-4s-from-ebay (note: my email was different from the one there, mine just said it was a counterfeit and didn't mention apple)

So i'm totally okay with the product, afterall, the seller didn't claim it was OEM nor will I believe the seller even if he claimed it as OEM. I forked out my money KNOWING that this is some 3rd party stuff that i choose to use in order to alter my iphone 4
My Questions is: Would you guys think that custom will somehow be notified and seize the item because it's a "counterfeit"?

Itz been sitting in the Canadian custom for 5 business days now. I did a little googling and people are saying that the time they stay in customs varies. Some say within 3 days, some say months, some say it just cruises by custom within minutes.
I did not file a claim back as ebay suggested because I knew it was a "counterfeit" and I contacted the seller to confirmed that the item has already been shipped. But if it's quite likely to be seized at custom then maybe i should file the claim.

so it seems like a lot of you have gone the cheaper route on ebay. anyone want to tell us where you bought it and the quality in terms of fit, build, and diffuser/camera quality?

Thanks soo much!

I did and it never arrived. Frenchjay and I have been waiting 5 weeks and counting. Ask for a refund. They gave me one.

Yeah I never got mine but got a full refund from the seller. I just ordered this one which is a full housing, camera ring and flash diffuser and is from the uk for 25£.

I have a flash diffuser part that I bought which I won't need now, so if anybody wants it in the uk I will send it to you for 2£ plus your desired postage type. Please message me if you want it!

Here is the backplate I got

Did you order from the same seller on eBay as me and James?

It almost certainly will not come it has been 6 weeks since I ordered.

 

[bidwalj]

Does anyone know where to get a back plate that also has the glass covred camera lens so it's flush and filled like the black original ?

 

[Time Less]

i'm not sure. this is the one i bought on oct. 27th.

Yeah I'm afraid it's the same one i got. Just message the seller and say it has not arrived and you would like a refund. He/she is actually ok to deal with so you should get a refund pretty quickly.

I ordered a white full back from Cell Castle on Amazon. Their A-Z Guarantee on Amazon means full satisfaction or your money back. No hassle.

Why spend so much on that when you can get the same exact one on eBay for $30 shipped right now? Hmm.

I bought mine from here. Arrived yesterday (about 2 weeks since purchase) and it is a perfect fit for the new iPhone 4 screws with 5 lobes. I e-mailed the seller before I bought it and he even promised a refund if the screwdriver did not fit but thankfully I did not have to contact him for a refund.

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

That theme with the origami is sick. What theme is that if I may ask.

Finally caved in and ordered one. We'll see what happens....
