Repairing 3GS back cover

arigold · 2 Jun 2011 at 12:45

Hi,

I've a 3GS which has the back cover cracked. Its out of warranty but would like to fix it. What are my options? I can see that there are kits available, however I'm worried I might make it worse.

Does this site look legit?

Pretty sure someone I know has used it, can't remember though. I'm pretty sure though if you looked around your town you'd find a mobile shop guy who can do it. Maybe buy the kit and go asking if they can help you if your worried about doing it yourself.

I know about 3 in my town that can do it.

hmmm I dunno tbh, it could well be but I'm a bit dubious.

I think it looks legit, is it a registered VAT company? Nope doesn't look like it is. Can't find a VAT number anywhere for that site.

You can do it yourself, but all the back covers available on the market are copies.

Thanks guys. I'm hopefully going to get the phone cheap and get someone who knows what they are doing to do it.
