The back housing includes curved toughened glass, mid-frame, and pre-applied adhesive (some kits include camera lens cover).
Process: heat with iOpener or heat gun to soften adhesive; use picks or thin tools to pry around the edges, then press the new glass in place.
Installation takes approximately 60–120 minutes and typically includes tool kit and tape.
Parts + labor cost around $13–30, and may be higher if warranty or quality parts included.
Post-install checks: water tightness (IP seal), curved touchscreen edges, no air gaps, clear camera lens.
DIY not recommended without experience to avoid frame warping or sensor damage.
