Option 2
Complete housing replacement
Priced for your model
For others, a complete housing replacement may be the more practical solution.
We check first:
- Whether the frame has been bent or distorted
- Damage around the rear camera assemblies
- Any additional internal damage
Tested before collection
Included in every repairEvery repaired device receives a final quality check before collection.
We verify:
- Wireless charging
- Camera functionality
- Button operation
- General device functionality
Will My iPhone Still Be Water Resistant?
This is one of the most common questions we receive.
Modern smartphones use adhesives and seals to provide water resistance. Any repair that involves opening the device can affect the original factory water resistance.
While every effort is made during reassembly, no independent repair provider can typically guarantee the same level of factory water resistance as an unopened device.
We recommend treating any repaired phone as no longer water resistant.
Does Cracked Back Glass Affect Wireless Charging?
Sometimes.
Back glass is designed to improve wireless charging performance and aesthetics, but it remains vulnerable to impact damage.
Many iPhones will continue charging wirelessly even with cracked rear glass. However, severe damage around the wireless charging coil can affect charging performance or reliability.
As part of our assessment, we test wireless charging functionality and recommend repairs where necessary.
Is Back Glass Repair Worth It?
In many cases, yes.
Repair is often worthwhile when:
- The phone is otherwise functioning normally
- The damage is limited to the rear glass
- The repair cost is significantly lower than replacement
- You plan to keep using the device
- You want to improve resale value
Replacement may be worth considering when:
- Multiple major faults are present
- Significant frame damage exists
- The device no longer meets your needs
- Repair costs approach replacement value
If repair doesn't make financial sense, we'll explain why.
