It shows the proper tools you need. It also shows that you don't just take the back off; you start by taking the front off and then remove successive layers to get to the back. Good luck, and don't start unless you are used to fiddling with small machinery.

  • Will my iPhone work if it has been without battery cover (back glass with apple logo) for a long? After fixing my iPhone 4's screen, I accidentally broke the battery cable and I haven't closed its back glass since then. I'm just afraid that moist can damage the logic board, can it? Will it work if I replace battery? The screen works, I just checked it after fixing, but then to complete the assembly, I accidentally damaged the battery cable… Thank you in advance
  • Will my insurance cover battery replace my for my iPhone 6 plus? I have Verizon and I have the 11.99 insurance, unless I read over it I didn't see anything about it. My battery drains really fast while I'm at school and not using it much. Is there anything else that could be wrong with it?

  • Where to find good hard cover iPhone 3GS case? Hi, I'm looking for a hard cover case for my iPhone 3GS.

What brands, websites, or stores do you recommend? I'm only looking for HARD COVER cases, so no silicone or rubberlike materials. I don't want anything more expensive than $25. Thanks! Something like this, but for the iPhone 3GS:
