I know there are already some posts about this, and I did read through them. But now because of a shattered back on a friends phone I need to order something. I am leaning towards iresq.com, but is there better/less expensive options? I read a lot about different backs, carbon fiber would be cool, but I didn't see much out there besides black or white glass.
 
Are you trying to give your friend options here? Does he want carbon fiber back?

I don't think she cares too much, I am really just trying to find something less than the $80 from iresq.com. And I thought maybe since we are replacing it anyway, maybe there was some cool options available. I see some cheap ones, but want it to be nice quality and to fit good.
 
Find a place that will just sell you the back, since you can install it yourself.

That's what I'm looking for. Iresq.com has them for $80 and it sounds like they are really nice. But they are available down to $10, I just don't want junk.

You really do get what you pay for. I haven't followed any prices, and there may be cheaper options than Iresq, but don't expect an oem replacement for 10 dollars. Also, globalpartsdirect has has some good reviews on here.
