Let's Clear This Up. THIS is a Full Genuine Back!

All theses backs that everyone is buying and talking about are not the real deal.

If you look at the pictures their are 2 differences to the ones that are on sale currently.

1. No flash diffuser. Where the flash is you can see a lens like piece of glass. All the ones for sale at the moment DONT have anything in that space!

Why would you want to pay $120+ for a back that has just a hole for the flash. Not going to be nice and flush like the black one your replacing!

2. No protective shield down the right size on the back.

Unless it has these, then it's not the real thing!

this site seems to offer the best price that i have seen, yet again the diffuser assembly is missing. is this a part that may easily be used from the original back plate? if not, how critical is it?

Not very critical.

Based on this picture, do you guys think this is the complete package? This is made by Apple. Should I jump on this or not? The price is very good compared to the competition.

Still has no Flash Diffuser though! Looks as good as the rest.

Alibaba. $70 for the white one. No diffuser. Is that a problem?

 

[Steveo47]

this is why its taking apple to long to make the white iphones! they have them all ready but everyone is buying the backplates.

 

[bhsu21]

Damn I really like that white back but don't know if I want to spend $199 on it. If it was $100 I'd buy it for sure.

But to me, it looks so nice.

Not at all! I ask because I want one too Can you link me please? Can't seem to find it.

That's just silly

That is too much. Poke around for a better price if you really want one

I don't think it is OEM...

[headcheese]

The one that you linked me to is completely different then the one in the pic that arthursiew posted. In is pic you can clearly see the camera ring (still no diffuser for the flash) and the one you posted is just holes.

 

[headcheese]

just thought of something...

I wonder if places are going to stop offering the OEM ones soon since they may be impossible to get with the delay of the white ip4?

Hmmm. Might have to pull the trigger on the one I've been eying today

 

[mitsitsad]

i know its out of stock, but couldnt you do this

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OEM-Apple-iPhone-4-Rear-Housing-Inner-Plate-p/appl8003135.htm

Well you have to order a minimum of three of those.

 

[born4sky]

sexy

 

[headcheese]

No you couldn't

Because you're required to buy at least 3 of those

When I asked whether there was a problem, I was asking whether there was a problem with the absence of the diffuser.

I don't think it is OEM...

It is OEM, but the picture on the listing is not the actual item. The seller sent me the picture which I posted earlier.

The one that you linked me to is completely different then the one in the pic that arthursiew posted. In is pic you can clearly see the camera ring (still no diffuser for the flash) and the one you posted is just holes.

The link he posted was the right one. Like I said earlier, I posted the picture of the actual item earlier.

 

[mayakukla]

is it possible to take the flash trim from the black and put it on the white?

You'll probably damage the diffuser in the process and possible damage the finish on your black back plate.

I have the same white back as xraytech. Even though it is missing these two things, I still think that it is OEM. The glass is the same as the front panel. It fits absolutely perfectly.

I noticed that the diffuser on my black back looks to be glued on top of the flash hole. These white OEM backs may have been produced before Apple decided on the diffuser or were sold to iResQ before it was glued on. The shield is also something that is glued on.

In any event, it would be surprising if a third-party was manufacturing white backs that are this close to the real thing.
