The back housing includes toughened glass, mid-frame, and dust/waterproof adhesive.
Process: heat and remove old back cover, clean adhesive residue, install new housing, and apply waterproof seal.
Installation takes about 30–60 minutes at a reputable repair center.
Parts + labor cost ranges from $13–30 depending on supply quality.
Post-install checks include water/dust seal integrity, no lifted adhesive around camera or edges, and edge touch functionality.
