Just got my white backplate and I like it but the cut along the edge seems uneven. On the left side more than the right (the seam line if you know what i'm talking about)

Is anyone else's like this? From iresq?

Should I request a replacement or is it 'within spec'?

Thanks.

Looks great with the bumper on though, and I might just be nitpicky. But I dunno. Doesn't seem near as perfect as the original black backplate.

dunno if you can see it or not, tough to photograph.

I'm getting a replacement from Iresq.com Apparently this is not common.

Getting it overnighted too this time, I'm impatient!

Ordering white right now..probably will end up getting a few colors as they come out. Start using those as cases instead of bulky ones

Are you serious? You payed that much just for the white back plate? Did you know you can get the whole thing switched to white for a little more money? You got ripped off pal. Those white back plates are only 50-60 and on ebay like 20. lol Im sorry to be rude but, I had to say something! You got ripped off for a mismatched iphone 4 I don't like how its white and black looks cheap. One or the other white or black not together in my opinion!

He did this a few weeks after the phone came out, probably one of the first people to have a 'white' iphone without a case

They are having a sale for $29 for white and black and $39 for different colors. If you use coupon code "SNAZZY" or "APL18" you get $5 dollars off.

I just purchased one off Ires and I'm kind in a rush to get rid of it. Rather not wait for the refund. I didnt realize it wouldn't fit my verizon iphone. But id sell it to someone for 27$ shipped. Thats a saving of about 9$ with there shipping costs. Its never been used. Don't pm if you have verizon, it won't fit.

Reason im not waiting for the refund, i'm a poor college student and nearing the end of the quarter have zero money until the beginning of the next quarter. PM ME.

Also bought a backplate from sw-box but the screws don't tighten. So if I put my iphone into a tighter sleeve, the backplate and screws just come off:(

There is quiet a few of them out there, you can just search the threads here you will find at least 5-7. With some good research, you will come to a decision like i did :D
