Most cracked backs are a simple panel swap. We check for the rest before quoting.
The back on an iPhone 17 is meant to come off. Two screws at the charging port, gentle heat, then the panel lifts away. No laser, no scraping. Your own wireless charging coil and flash move across to the new glass, so nothing functional gets replaced. We clear every trace of old adhesive off the frame before the new panel goes on. Miss a bit and the seal never sits right.
From the bench
A word on colour. Apple infuses the colour into the iPhone 17's glass rather than coating the outside of it. Black, Mist Blue, Sage and Lavender are all made that way, which is a nicer finish and a harder one to match. The panels we fit come as close to the original as it gets. We won't claim it's 100% identical, but you won't spot it in normal use.
There's no warranty on the back glass replacement, so we make sure everything is right before it goes. Every phone gets a full QC, and after a back glass job we pay extra attention to MagSafe grip, wireless charging and the flash. We go round the edges to see the panel sits flush. Then it's cleaned up and back with you.
It’s a little bit like visiting a doctor. Don’t you like it when your doctor has an understanding ear, and explains the ailment to you?
All things considered, the quality of service is only as good as the expertise of the repairman. Workmanship matters!
All Apple devices, all repairs, we are your one-stop shop. We’re probably the only one in town who do L4 chip-level repair on Logic boards, arguably :)
We inspect thoroughly and share a detailed diagnosis report. You'll know exactly what's wrong before you commit to anything.
Clear pricing before any work begins. Parts, labor, and timeline upfront. You decide whether to go ahead.
1 to 3 days for common repairs. Chip-level logic board work may take up to 2 weeks. We keep you posted throughout.
90-day minimum on every repair. 3 months on chip-level logic board work. 1 year on display replacements.
We don't publish a fixed price on the website, because it moves with the parts market and a figure we post today could be wrong next month. Send us a message on WhatsApp and we'll share the current price straight away.
Usually the same day, and often just a few hours. The old panel comes off quickly. Most of the time goes on clearing the old adhesive and letting the new seal set, which we don't rush, because a rushed seal can lift at the edge a few weeks later. If the workshop is busy, we might ask you to leave it a little longer.
Yes. We keep your phone's original wireless charging and camera flash rather than swapping them out, so both carry on working exactly as before. We test charging, MagSafe alignment and the flash as part of the final check before the phone goes back to you.
No. We keep your phone's own electronics, the wireless charging coil and controller, the MagSafe ring, the flash and the mic, and move them across to the new panel. Only the glass changes, so there's nothing new for the phone to report and Parts and Service History stays as it was.
Strictly, no. Apple doesn't sell its back glass on the open market, so nobody can fit a true "Apple Original". The glass we use is the best quality available, but more important than the glass itself, is the skill & workmanship of the technician who's doing the job.
We don't provide warranty with the back glass, and the reason is simple: it's a cosmetic, non-functional part with no electronic or even mechanical components inside to fail or cover. The functional bits we touch along the way, your wireless charging and flash, stay original and get tested before handover, so those aren't a worry either.
Almost always just the glass. Apple might tell you the whole housing has to go, but it doesn't. The cracked panel comes off and a new one goes on. The one exception is the frame: small dents we can usually work back, but a frame bent badly out of shape needs a full body replacement, and there's no way round that.
We fit a fresh sealing gasket to help restore water resistance. Even so, there's no reliable way to test the seal afterwards, and even Apple won't commit to water resistance once a phone has been opened. If the phone is already dented or bent, resistance is reduced and can't be fully restored. We'd recommend keeping it away from liquid, and we can't take liability for liquid damage after the repair.
