My partner has just smashed the back glass on her new iPhone 4s

You can get replacement ones for £7 on ebay. Are these really any good or should I stay clear of them

Thats where i got mydaughters just make sure it comes with the glass some are just the backcover

mrmadcap

Take it to the apple shop and they will repair it for fee as a goodwill gesture

dpb

Im slighlty surprised apple wont pop a spleet new replacement in the post if you tell them you hadnt just lost your patience with it

Jamescsti

A repair for a fee is not really a good will gesture, or was it meant to be ironic?

Snazy

Add the letter R and you might see he meant free.

Or are you just being stupid lol

Jamescsti

Not at all, but people seem very keen on spelling and grammar on here so I'm getting in on the act

£7 sounds worth a punt, some of the back covers are not glass replacement though but black plastic - worth checking

If you touch it yourself, Apple will know if you have a warranty issue not only do there have moisture sensors there have tamper sensors inside, When i had mine replaced due to a battery issue the guy next to me was being told it has been opened up by someone else other than apple and refused to repair it

Take it to the apple store and see what they say, chances are they will change it for free

Would Apple really replace the back glass FOC.

iTrader: (40)

Most likely yes, There maybe a small charge

Take it to apple mate, save yourself the grief if A:- it needs warranty work and they know youve been in it or B:- the mrs will kick your **** if you break something ele while your trying to change it lol

Only one way to find out and as its free to visit the shop I would give it a go

I have dropped my 3GS on the floor many a times, but it refuses to break. Solid as rock. 3GS is the best iPhone in every aspect. Ditch 4S, get 3GS. Doesn't matter if you have to live with no signal on it. At least you will have an undestructable iPhone to show for.

Apple store all the way mate. As long as you go in being nice and expecting nothing they will most likely help you out. Then get a Grifin survivor or a ballistic HC. They are the protective daddies

Just like to add that I repair phones mostly iPhones and for the ones I couldn't fix I did advise the customer to visit apple and most of the time they have recived replacements at a massive reduced cost or even free but only for those in contract.

But most of my repairs are water damage lol. but I'm sure if it's just a back cover apple should be fine with sorting it if not let me know and I will get a price for you.

Thanks for all your advice guys and girls. See what tomorrow brings.

I also repair iPhones and I can say by taking the back off does not void any warranty as there is no tamper on the rear case. The water sticker and warranty tab is on the screw and battery

Order a genuine screen from the Internet and fit yourself it's two Penelope screws and your there

Happened to my wife's and they repaired it for free - Birmingham Bull Ring Store

The rceipt they gave showed it would've been £22 or £27 anyway so it's hardly much!

Get it done by Apple - worse case scenario is they say no or charge you.

Well the Missus took her 4S to the apple store today and had to pay £25 for a new rear glass for her phone. Also got a protective cover as well now lol.

The iPhone 4s is very easy to smash compared to the galaxy range which fair much better when dropped. There is YouTube clip demonstrating how easy you can destroy the iPhone

Snazy

Very decent indeed.
All angles covered, nice one.
