A cracked back glass is one of the most frustrating things that can happen to your phone. One moment it’s in your pocket — the next it slips, hits the floor, and the entire rear panel shatters into a spiderweb of cracks. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

At Mr Fix Cell Phone & Computer Repair, back glass replacement is one of our most requested services. Our trained technicians handle it every single day across all of our locations — with quality parts, precision tools, and a warranty you can count on.

Did you know? Leaving a cracked back glass unrepaired isn’t just a cosmetic problem. It can expose internal components to dust, moisture, and debris — and the sharp edges can worsen over time, making the phone harder and more dangerous to hold.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Cracked Back Glass

Modern smartphones — especially iPhones from the iPhone 8 onwards — use premium glass on the back panel. It’s designed to look sleek and support wireless charging, but it’s also fragile. Once cracked, the problems go beyond appearances:

💧

Moisture Damage Risk

Cracks break the water-resistance seal, leaving your phone vulnerable to liquid damage.

🔋

Wireless Charging Issues

Severe cracks can interfere with MagSafe and Qi wireless charging efficiency.

Sharp Edges

Shattered glass edges can scratch hands, pockets, and other surfaces you care about.

📉

Resale Value Drop

A cracked back glass can significantly reduce trade-in and resale value of your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does back glass replacement take?

Most back glass replacements at Mr Fix are completed same-day, often within 1–2 hours depending on the device model and parts availability. Some models take a bit longer due to the complexity of the repair — we’ll always give you an honest timeframe upfront.

Is it worth fixing a cracked back glass?

Absolutely. Replacing the back glass is significantly cheaper than buying a new device. It also prevents further damage from moisture, debris, and sharp glass edges. If your phone is otherwise working fine, a back glass replacement is one of the best investments you can make for your device.

Will back glass replacement void my warranty?

Third-party repairs can affect your original manufacturer’s warranty, yes. However, Mr Fix provides its own repair warranty on all back glass work — so you’re protected regardless. We’ll walk you through your options before we start.

Can you fix back glass on older iPhone models?

Yes — we repair back glass on iPhone models from the iPhone 8 and up. Older iPhones (7 and below) used aluminum backs, so they don’t have glass back panels that require this type of repair. Our team can advise on the best repair option for your specific model.

Do I need to back up my phone before a back glass repair?

For a standard back glass replacement, your data should not be at risk — the repair is external and doesn’t touch internal storage. That said, we always recommend keeping a current backup of your device as a general best practice before any repair.

How much does back glass replacement cost?

Pricing varies by device model. The best way to get an accurate quote is to visit your nearest Mr Fix location or give us a call. We’re transparent about pricing — you’ll always know the exact cost before work begins.
