I bought it from the TechRestore Service guys, on ebay, for a great deal. Check out my pics and tell me what you think.

I love the way it looks in the bumper.

Anyone here have the full red conversion done? I've been seriously considering doing it, as red is my favorite color, it's just $275 is a bit much to drop on a color change.

Nope, $20.

Alot of people are grossly overpaying for their glass backs, it's ridiculous how over priced some places are. Some places are charging close to $100 for the same exact back I got.
 
Can you post a link to the webstore to purchase it? The website of the company you listed is only showing the white and black OEM backs. Thanks.

How does this work? Is it a full glass plate? Is it the same type of glass on the iPhone 4 now?

How does it compare to a service like this:

It's the exact same type of glass that ifixdirect uses, except not ridiculously overpriced. It's Apple quality repair parts, just different colors.

You can get ahold of Blue, Red, and Pink of that quality back if you look hard enough online, but if you choose ebay, try to go with the American sellers as they tend to have the legit stuff it seems.

The company I have listed already sold out of the Red Glass backs (they only had 20 I think), I don't know when they are re-stocking unfortunately.

And for the record, I did purchase the aluminum Silver, and Red backs from the Asian vendors on ebay, and though I did like the look, I had the flash white out issue when I took pictures.

This back I'm showing you, just like the original iPhone 4 glass back, has the flash diffuser in it, and obviously fixed the flash issue.

does it have a black frame? ifixdirect's actually looks nicer as it's all red.
 
$20? maybe not that much

I didn't even realize that.

Good point, I do like the red on red, but as I keep mine in a bumper, It doesn't really matter to me, unless I did do the full conversion.
