Replacing the back cover

I had recent cracked the back cover of my phone and it's starting to bug me now, is there anyway i can take it off and replace it? I know i can take it off, but will it void warrenty? Also where would i get a new cover from? I would kind of like to have a customized cover, but what ever works.
Thank you.

Tamara has a good suggestion, at least until your warranty runs out.
This is a good case and hardly adds any volume to the iPhone... http://www.myincipio.com/category/iphonecases.iphone_feathercase/

Does apple sell the back cover for iphone 5?

As we all know the iphone 5 back cover is made of aluminum and how easily it's edges can get scratched....
now if i don't like protective covers and I am willing to invest in replacing the back cover after a while with an original one, can I purchase it from apple?

Apple does not sell any iPhone parts. 3rd party suppliers like iFixit.com would be your best bet, but will void any warranty you may have.

How to have the back cover replaced on my iphone 4s

How to have the back cover replaced on my iphone 4s?

Hi
Thank you for taking the time to answer my query. When I tap the bookmark at the bottom of the screen, it opens a screen with Allowed Sites and History when I tap either of them there is no option to delete, also there is no Favourites to tap after tapping the bookmark icon. Each time I tap the Safari app, and try to type something into the address bar, the app closes and I am unable to access the internet although connected. Any suggestions, would resetting phone help?

Replacing "Made on a Mac" on the inside of the back cover.

I was told the "made on a mac" printed on the inside of the back cover can be replaced, eg : "made by...". Does anyone know how to do this? (iphoto '09)

It is not a standard feature - someone posted a way by finding and replacing some file - search the forums or use google and see if you can find it

How do I get the back cover off?

Hey guys I just bough a new GE70 2PE Apache Pro (Ge70 2PE-010US to be precise) and I want to add an SSD to it. How do I get the back cover off so I can open it up?

Quote from: TheSarge;102473
I figured it out. What was stumping me is that there's a screw under the god dam "Warranty Sticker."
By the way, I am not happy that MSI made the retarded decision to replace the Windows Context Menu keyboard key with a second "\" key and move it next to the space bar. There's already a "\" key on the keyboard, MSI; Why the hell would I want two of them? Any idea how to rectify this idiocy?
I've never really use this Windows Context Menu key.. so this never bothers me.
but think you can ask why they have this design, I don't really notice it until you bring it up.
I remember they have a online system.

How can I remove the back cover for my ipod?

I need to remove the cover because my ipod seems to be suffering from a hardrive problem. It used to just cycle through all the songs in a playlist or randomly play 5 seconds and skip to the next song, but now it just makes a whirring noise when I try to turn it on and cannot get past the apple logo.
Sometimes I get the little unhappy ipod logo and the support website but thats it.
Iv tried going into diagnostic mode and attempting to run a few tests. It failed a USB test in this mode so i think that may be one of the problems with it.
Does anyone know of a fool proof way of removing the case so I can dis/reconnect the harddrive?

Before you remove the back cover of your iPod - which will loss the warranty
Read the following
he Sad iPods icon or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
“Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
- I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
- I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
- I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
10.Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

Catch that hold the back cover plate fell off

Does anyone know if the catch that hold the back cover plate can be replaced? It was loose for some time and has now fallen off.

First of all, it's obvious from internet activity that this little latch is a problem with Blackberry's. Poor engineering and shoddy work on the part of Blackberry. They SHOULD replace them for free. It's gotten so bad that T-Mobile sales people are disuading customers from buying Pearls just because they get so many complaints about the broken latches. So, head their advice unlike me.
I hope you were better at replacing yours than I was mine. I too bought one on eBay. When I saw it I could see why they break so often. It is a tiny, cheaply made and fragile part. I broke the replacement trying to get it installed. So, if anybody tries to replace one themselves be very careful with the 3 tiny little pins on the latch.
Blackberry should be paying for these to be repaired.

MSi 2260 All-in-one: Removing the back cover

Does anyone know how to remove the back cover of the All-in-one? I've removed the stand, all the screws round the edges, and the plastic cover at the top, all to no avail. I don't want to force anything. The machine is out of warranty, and it's getting slow and noisy so I thought whilst I rebuilt it I might replace the main H/D with a solid state drive. Not a very good start then when I can't even remove the back!
thanks

I just recently replaced the hard drive in mine. You do not have to remove the stand. Lay it screen down on a towel. Remove 8 screws (1 under the warranty sticker).
The tricky part is removing the front of the DVD tray without breaking it, but it is possible. Straighten out a paper clip and push it in the little hole in the DVD tray--the door will open--then use a small knife to release the hooks that hold the DVD tray cover to the DVD tray. Careful, don't break it!

Any advice is welcome!

Is it possible to replace the back outershell of my iPod

Not by Apple.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs They do not fix yours.

Somehow I messed up creating my hard cover book. I don't have the back cover and flap. How do I get it back?

somehow I messed up creating my hard cover book. I don't have the back cover and flap. How do I get it back?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Where are you seeing this lack of back cover and flap.
A first try fix is this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help create a new book and see if the back cover and flap are in it. If so then it appears that your original book is damaged.
You can try rebuilding the library by launching iPhoto with the Option and Command keys held down and select the option to Repair the Database, option #3. If that fails rebuild again with option #4, Rebuild Database.
If that doesn't help then create a new book, verify that the back cover and flap is there and add the photos.

If i want to replace the back case for an iphone 3g and i provide the back case, will Apple do the actual replacement for me?

The black back case on my iphone 3g is cracked. i would like to replace the back case with a new white one. I saw the video on how to do the replacement on youtube and found it complicated. if i take the new back case and the phone to Apple, will the replace the broken back case for me?

Regarding the iPhone 3G, the only repair that Apple Genius does on that device is the Front Screen Replacement. So they could help you get the front assembly back on when you are done with the repair. To give you a better idea, the Genius do not even replace the battery on the iPhone 3G. Apple will not help you with this repair.

Nokia 2600 classic - how do I get the back cover o...

I have just bought my first mobile phone ever, so am a complete novice; I have tried to follow the instructions to press the release button and take off the back cover to fit the battery, but I cannot get the cover to open.
The main question is, am I trying to open the phone at the right end - i.e. if the phone is face down, the end nearest to the loudspeaker?
I am loathe to use an implement on the phone in case I damage the case.
Any advice would be very welcome - I feel so stupid!
Thank you.

nothing to be ashamed of, we all have problems with certain phones sometimes.
the back cover of the 2600 is quite big and covers the whole back side plus sides of the phone that's why it's difficult sometimes to remove.
the release button is located at the top of the device , with the phone facing down press on that button, remeber that the body of the button is actually part of the body and not of the cover and so performs as a latch.
while pressing hard enough on that button you can fell that the button goes in enough distance to clear the whole thickness of the back cover plastic. Now wedge your finger nail between the cover and the body anywhere at the top of the device, that should give you enough lift to release the upper part of the cover.
pull up and slightly backward to release the lower part of the cover.
for a diagramtic representation , please take alook at your user manual, available here:
