How much does it cost for apple to replace a shattered back on iPhone 4S?
Unfortunately I managed to drop my 18 month old iPhone 4S this morning and the back has shattered. I've never had a case on this phone, and this is the first time I've shattered it. How much would it cost for apple to replace a shattered back?
You can pay Apple $50 to do it, or you can do it yourself for $20. Order a new OEM back cover from this site.http://www.m.gadgetmenders.com/Black_Glass_Back_Cover_For_iPhone_4S.html
The back is a simple repair.
1. Remove the two screws at the bottom of the phone, on opposite sides of the sync port.
2. Push the older back cover in an upward direction, and remove it.
3. Install new back cover
4.Re-insert the two screws on opposite sides of the sync port.
It's really easy and saves money. You can order a new back off of a different site, like Amazon or eBay for example, but they won't be OEM quality parts, which means they'll either shatter easier, or something minor will be wrong with it, like the apple logo being backwards, slightly crooked, or no apple logo at all. It's best if you order from gadget menders. Hope this helps.
- Should I replace my shattered iPhone 5 front glass myself or take it in? I ordered the front glass for my iphone 5 since it recently got shattered, the LCD works fine though. I heard it is risky it fix it myself so should I just take it in? Or is fixing it myself is a better option for the money?
- My iPhone shattered, will Apple replace it? My front and back is shattered and it's hard to do stuff on my phone when there's cracks all over the place. I'm not sure if I have insurance on it or not but do you think apple will replace it without insurance? Because its awful.

- I shattered the screen on my iPhone, can Apple replace just the screen? Is it possible to only get the glass screen replaced or will I need to get a new phone? And if Apple can replace it, how much will it cost?
