So decided to try out the white iphone 4 conversion kit from zeetron.com (iresq competitor).
Reasons for them over iresq (cheaper 190 vs. 250) and you can have them ship you the full kit, as opposed to sending out your phone.
They took longer than I had hoped to process the order (about 2 days later after it was ordered before 12:30pm their time) which was a bit upsetting because paid extra to get two day shipping, but luckily they overnighted it, so it only came about a day later than I expected.
Parts come in bubble wrap in a fedex envelope (was a bit worried the glass might be broken before I opened it up, but luckily they weren't).
Backplate - seems pretty close to Apple's version, has flash diffuser and camera ring.
Front LCD/Digitizer - this is where the big problems were. I didn't notice it immediately, but it did not come with a mesh over the speaker opening, and there were about two inch and a half long rough edges on the top and bottom of the back of the lcd digitizer assembly. Installed anyway but it didn't sit perfectly flush, which is pretty annoying.
Powered the phone on and everything worked fine, but the alignment of the lcd was slightly off, so the screen was slightly closer to the right side of the phone than the left, which was also annoying.
Emailed them, and they said I must have just gotten a bad part, and that they would send out a new kit once I provided them with a tracking number on the parts sent back. Complied and sent it out last night, and after various emails, I haven't heard back from them since, despite arranging with them for this, so I'm assuming it wasn't shipped out today (infuriating).
So as of right now, I'd recommend everyone to stay away.
If the right functioning parts show up miraculously show up tomorrow, I'll update with an extended review, though I'm assuming i'll just be asking for a refund.
