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.

  • How important is the back glass on an Iphone 4?

    I've had my Iphone 4 since it first came out, I've been using one of those otter cases I love it. Yesterday I took the phone out of the case to get like the dirt or whatever was around the edged and the camera. I turned it around and there's a hairline crack from one side of the back plate to the other along the bottom near the charger. How important is that? Mind you this is my first Iphone. I have the warrenty on it and the 2 year apple care plan but I just want to know how important it is before I rush around to fix it.

    Replacement of the back glass is $29 at an Apple store.  Might want to get it taken care of before the problem gets worse.

  • How possibly dust going under the back glass of the phone?

    I see some specs of dust under the back glass of my iPhone4S. How possibly is that? It seems that the glass is perfectly attached to the back, how could they go there? Is there any solution for me to swap them out or how to prevent more dust going underneath the glass? Since there is no Apple service in my country, so it seems that I have to deal with it? Not a big problem but it is very annoying. Please help!!!

    You meant that there is no way for dust coming under the glass, right? Cause I am going to buy a pair of screen protector to cover the front and back of the phone.I wonder it can improve the situation?

  • Is the camera lense seperate from the back glass?

    I currently still have the Iphone 4, but recently I have noticed my camera becomes more and more blury. I then come to find my lense is completely covered in scratches. So, I want to get it fixed because I have to have my phone for another year before I can upgrade to another Iphone. So, my question is, is the back glass seperate from the lense? Or is there a way I can get it fixed?

    Yep.
    Damage like that isn't covered by warranty anyway.

  • Can I get the back of my iPhone 4 white autographed?

    I want to get my favorite band to sign the back of my iPhone 4 white with a BLACK SHARPIE marker. Will it stay on? I don't want it to smear.

    Highly unlikely. Get a sharpie and a piece of glass and try.

  • How much does it cost to replace the back of an iPhone 4 in Australia?

    I shattered the back of my iPhone 4 today, and it's leaving little cuts on my fingers from holding it, I'm wondering how much it will cost to get it replaced/repaired in Australia (Queensland). I've heard sometimes it's free, sometimes it's $29, and that it could cost me $200!!
    Also how much I would have to pay for them to just replace it with a 5, thanks
    (I do not have any warranty or insurance...)

    Apple do not take trade-ins against new phones. Your iPhone 5 will cost whatever the retail price is in Australia.  Contact Apple for pricing of a new back, or better (if you are within range) make an appointment with a genius at an Apple Store.

  • 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

  • Does Apple Warrenty cover the back of an iPhone 5?

    Like any warranty on any product, it does not cover damager.

  • How come when I tap the back of my iPhone next to the camera, it sounds like there is a lose piece in inside?

    I just got my iPhone so i can't imagine there is anything wrong, but I noticed that when I tap the back of my iPhone next to the camera, it sounds like there is a lose piece in inside. Also, when I put the iPhone down on a desk or table i hear the same sound. Wondering if this is normal?

    Hi JRM833,
         That would be enough to make me worry as well. I've not seen (or heard, in this case) that happen on any of my iPhones, or any others that I've been around (friends, family, etc.).
    I would say that no, that isn't normal. If you're near one, take it to an Apple store. Or, if you made your purchase at the wireless carrier you've chosen, take it back to them to see if they could help you out.
    Best of luck.
