Upper and lower glass on the back

"The back glass is attached to the back of the frame on the iphone 5, The only way to replace is to simply remove the glass with a heat gun and reapply with a new glass part. These parts are some what hard to find.

here is one

Hope this helped."

"I was going to add a response once I had fixed my own repair, but haven't gotten around to it. The heatgun and an exacto and plastic spudger easily took out the broken piece. Unfortunately, it also popped the camera lens cover and part of the flash assembly out with it, which I had to carefully remove and put back in with the new part. I used some 3M ATG tape on the back of the glass, and carefully put it in with the camera/flash parts in place already. Everything went fine except for two things:

- There are now a few dark spots on my pics. I assume there was some dust that got trapped on the lens, so be very careful about cleaning the lens and cover before reassembling!

- The ATG tape is slightly too thick, so the glass part extrudes just a bit from the aluminum it borders on. Not a huge deal, but noticeable.

I am going to order the thinnest ATG tape I can find and heat gun it again eventually to get the dust out of the camera. Hopefully I can get the glass back out without breaking it. :)"

Here is another cheaper option for the parts you need, They are well trusted by me, I order from them all the time, also you might want to check out the colored Aluminum skins they offer, they not only look good but protect your phone from this problem. http://www.mengtor.com/product_show.php?...

Replacing the rear glass piece is possible but you will have to “gut” the phone out in order to fix anything. On the other side of the 5s/se there is a wifi antenna and camera cover attached to the glass. Scraping the broken glass could possibly break the wifi and antenna; those are even harder to find. Once the phone is “gutted” out, you can easily scrape the broken glass out and pop a new one back in.
