What is a IPhone 4 Glass Case?
The IPhone 4 glass covers are originally sold and advertised as a replacement for broken IPhone screens (both front and black) are available for purchase. The replacement front and back panels are just like the original and it fits perfectly into any IPhone 4 case. The Iphone 4 OEM Cover includes the lens ring and LED diffuser pre-installed. Designed to just as Apple intended it has a flat surface which provides a perfect fit, unlike IPhone 4 beveled replacement backs that may not fit into certain IPhone cases.
The IPhone 4 glass cases have gained much popularity over the past
year. Now customers have the chance to not only customize their cases, they
also can now change their physical glass screen case on their phone. The product comes in all colors and designs. Even
though this doesn’t physically protect the IPhone it gives consumers the
opportunity to be personable and creative. No longer do you have to have the
plain white or black IPhone.
Process in order to receive the IPhone 4 Glass Case?
The IPhone 4 glass covers are available online. (Ebay, IPhone 4 parts, Craigslist, etc.) You can also purchase the glass covers at almost any store that sells IPhone accessories. Prices vary from $9.99 - $100.00 depending on the design and the installation process.
Installing the IPhone 4 Glass Case
You can install the IPhone 4 glass case yourself and purchase the Screwdriver kit separately. Once you have the kit you simply unscrew the two bottom screws of the IPhone 4. Then on the back panel of the Iphone, give a small slide up and pull-out. That will remove the original broken Iphone 4 back plate. Continue to do the same to the front as well. If you don't feel comfortable installing the IPhone glass case you can visit any cellular accessory store. They may have a small installation fee for their service.
Reviews
Generally the reviews for my product are positive. The reviews tend to say they are very happy with their product and the fact that they can now be more personable with their IPhone was a really cool idea. Though you still have to purchase another case to physically protect the personalized glass, it’s still a very popular product.
A major drawback when it comes to the IPhone 4 glass case is it avoids your warranty. That is only if you send in your IPhone with the personalized glass screen physically still installed. Many customers have said that if something goes wrong they just take it back to where they got it installed and switched it back. When consumers would send it in to get it exchanged through Asurion or whatever provider they’re using they we’re never red flagged. In this case almost all companies sent a refurbished IPhone no questions asked.
My Personal Experience
I personally love my new IPhone glass case. I originally ended up getting my glass replaced and then customized because I shattered my all white IPhone on the ground. So instead of paying the $180 deductible from my insurance I only paid $50.00 to get my own custom camouflage glass case. So I can see how others would end up taking this route. Not only are you saving money, you’re getting a whole new look!
I highly recommend this product whether you have a cracked IPhone screen or not. It's another way to accessorize and be creative when it comes to your IPhone. I chose the camouflage design simply because I’ve never seen anyone with it and I wanted to be different. With hundreds of colors and designs on the market you can see why people are ditching their old cell phone cases and now personalizing their whole IPhone to their particular liking.
