Good title, IMO.

I ordered a iPhone toolset for opening it the other day. It came today, so i'm going to have a crack at mine today.

I'm only doing it as i have a shallow dent on the rear case. It's really annoying me. It can easily be pushed out from the inside IMO, and from guides on YouTube, it doesn't look hard to do.

Basically - Slide the black antenna cover downwards, unscrew three retaining screws for the back cover and Robert's your Father's Brother, it would seem.

Has anyone done it?

Am i risking it, doing it myself?

Thoughts?

 

[Millsy]

just get on with it and report back!

 

[ChrisPearson]

Might be gettign a new back cover so will need to do this too.
How much are the covers?

 

[H182]

worth f**king it up for the sake of a dent? Then again phones are fairly easy to take apart if u got a guide.

 

[john.med]

should be easy. Taken all my phones and ipods apart after the warranty was up tho. Will doin this not void yours?

 

[Christopher]

Considering it's jailbroken/unlocked etc... i'd say i'm boned anyway.

 

[ChrisPearson]

wow just relised mine says 8gb on the back

 

[ChrisPearson]

Forget that, i keep thinking its 16gb

 

[Christopher]

No point in buying a 16gb anyway. Get a dedicated iPod for your music and pay less!

 

[ChrisPearson]

i have 200 songs and 20 vids so 8gb is more than enough for me

 

[Gareth]

I've got the 16GB iPhone, prefer to have everything in 1 device.

 

[Christopher]

No much help when you have 48gb of music though.

I still use a 60gb iPod photo for music... trusty old thing. It's a bit battered now, but it's never let me down!

Your big onion-eating hands were not dextrous enough for the task, obviously
