Back glass removal advice

Hi all

In need of the back glass cover on a iphone 8 replacing, is it worth just replacing the whole back housing that comes complete with back glass cover, as I have seen it is a nightmare to remove just the glass.

Found that if not in a rush to remove the broken back glass is to leave it in a sealed container of Isopropyl for about two weeks which acts like a adhesive remover, glass came away a lot easier with this method.

Sadly you do need to replace the entire case for a cracked glass back

its easier for a diy project to replace the whole casing but its very doable to replace just the glass.

remove everything out of the phone, heat it to between 250-300 degC and use an isessamo to scrape the glass out.

Hi Chis, I am trying to replace the positioning ring on the iphone 8, do you know how to install it when it has no adhesive?

You can just change only back glass with laser back glass removal machine

The laser machine will damage the glue between glass and frame, then its easy to remove the glass.

And you also can buy back glass with bigger camera hole, then no need to remove original camera frame.
