Broken back glass on iphone 4

I've dropped my iphone4 and the back glass has broken, although the phone still works fine.  Has anyone had their back glass repaired by Apple and know how much it would cost?  I've made an appointment at the store in Covent Garden London but they can't tell me how much it will be.  There are some independent repairers which have quoted me £40 or £50 - I suspect cheaper than Apple but I'm a bit concerned about using them.  Any thoughts or experiences please??  Thank you!

If it's still under warranty I'd advice you NOT to repair it yourself just to be safe. Go to the Apple Store and ask them to repair/replace the back case. They charge £25 in Glasgow, Scotland. I'd imagine they'd charge the same in London

  • Will Apple Care fix a phone with a broken back glass?

    I bought an iPhone 4 in July 2010 at an ATT store, and bought an Apple Care plan with it at the same time.  I managed to shatter the back glass of my phone on the day I bought it.  It's been working fine ever since with the broken back glass.  I just put it in a case and haven't worried about the back being broken.
    However, recently the home button has stopped working very well.  I am still under Apple Care extended warranty; however, I don't know if they will fix my home button with the back glass being broken.  Does anyone have any ideas or ever been in this situation?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.  Just to be clear--I'm not asking them to fix the back glass, which I know is not covered by warranty.  I'm asking if they will fix something else that shoudl be covered.  They could send it back to me with the back glass still broken as long as the home button worked.
    Sorry, but you're going to be out of luck. There is no way to prove that the damage that cased the glass to crack did not also cause the problem you want fixed under warranty. The only option Apple is going to give you is a $149 out of warranty replacement.

  • Broken back glass and signal ??

    hi again, the iphone 4 i got has a broken back glass and i was wondering if it has anything to do with a weak signal? now im used to using an android for years and where im at we get good signal (full most of the time) but i see my 4 has a low signal, wile driving to town the other day (first trip with the iphone) i was talking to my wife and the phone was cutting in and out and not being nice...  so i was wondering if the broke glass on the back had anything to do with it?? i read somewhere that somebody had painted there case for the phone and the paint messed up the reception... mine has no case just a piece of clear tape to keep from cutting on the sharp glass,
    thanks for the help.....

  • Want to change broken back glass on 4S. What screwdriver works?

    Hi
    Dropped my iPhone 4S (16gb) and broke the back glass. Ordered a replacement from Canada that came with 3 small screwdrivers. None seems to work.
    I believe my Model No is A1387, at least the A and 87 are clearly legible.
    What screwdriver works and any idea where to get it?

    Dang, I stand corrected, I checked with the particular store, and you're absolutely right, $29.99. Thanks!!!
    (I'm really messing up, I even clicked myself as 'This helped me'. What a doink I am.
    Thanks again, KiltedTim.

  • Whats the best way to fix a broken back on an iphone 4?

    the back of my iphone cracked one day when i dropped it, and im looking for a quick way to fix it for cheap. i have the white iphone, does anyone have any tips?

    You would want to take to it to an Apple Retail Store and get it replaced.  Accidental damage is not covered under your standard one year warranty, so you could get it replaced for an out of warranty price of $149.  If you have Apple Care +, which does cover accidental damage, you could get it replaced for $49.99.  If you decide to buy a back off Ebay or a site like that, it will void whichever warranty you have.

  • Circles underneath the back glass of iPhone 4?

    Hello fellow iPhone lovers!
    I own an iPhone 4. In some time, i've noticed that i have some bubbles on the inside of the backside glass of it. Here's a picture: http://img641.imageshack.us/i/imag0056r.jpg/
    Then yesterday evening i noticed, that i where able to make a clicking noise with the backside of the two glasspieces, which got me worried. I therefore went down to the gymnasium i study at (who sold me the iPhone), and the IT guy there quickly explained that the bubbles were indeed signs of water. He then tightned the screws, so that i werent able to make the clicking noise anymore.
    My questions are:
    If it's some kind of water damage, and the back hasnt been tightned enough,is it then my responsibility? As far as i'm aware, my iPhone 4 has never been in contact with water, which is what confuses me the most (maybe highest handsweat, but that should'nt be enough to cause such a problem - or should it?).
    So what can i do about it, and will the normal Apple warranty cover the the "damages" ( even the phone is still fully opperational)?
    Sincerely,
    Mark, Denmark

    EDIT: He said it may also be airbubbles, just so you know.

  • IPhone 4S broken front and back glass with AppleCare

    What can apple store do for unlocked  4s under AppleCare with cracked front and back glass?

    They can replace your phone for $199. Standard AppleCare does not cover accidental damage at all. On the plus side, your AppleCare policy will carry over to the replacement phone.

  • New to Xperia Z2 - back glass spontaneously broken already :(

    Hey guys,
    Im a long time iPhone user swithing to Android for the first time with the Sony Xperia Z2 in black.
    Firstly, I love the phone and some of the stuff you can do with android.
    Unfortunately, after about a week or two of owning it I noticed a transverse crack on the back of the phone through the glass. I had not at all dropped it and have in fact been babying it around in a soft gel case.
    The next day, I noticed more cracks on the back extending to the bottom, in an inverted Y-shape
    The phone was purchased from the eBay seller here2-buy who has refused to fix it, despite advertising it having Australian Warranty.
    Sony Australia have also refused to help, saying that I need an invoice with the IMEI of the phone and an Australian Business Number (ABN) on it. Their repair centre is actually a 3rd party in Sydney as they down't have their own.
    So Im stuck with a 2-week old phone that has multiple cracks in the back - and no one believes me when I say that it has happened spontaneously.
    I've never broken any of the iPhones I've ever owned and so it is quite disheartening to go from Apple Care (where I would walk into my local store and walk out with a new phone) to trying to convince someone over email or on the phone that this was not my fault and sending the phone around the country in the hope someone will fix it.
    Any thoughts from anyone would be appreciated!
    Ps. As you can see there is no damage on the casing/edges

    I looked into this seller and the business is in Hong Kong which will make recieving any help from them almost nill and as they won't be bound by any of your consumer laws plus cross country consumer laws don't exist then again obtaing help will probably be none existant - Depending on how long you have had the phone you could make an ebay claim or paypal claim as you should have the ebay buyer protection

  • How much does it cost to fix the back glass of the iphone 4s?

    My friend's iPhone 4S back glass broke. Can they fix it at the Apple Store? How much does it cost?

    No, they do not fix iDevices.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
