Restoring rear of iPhone

[The Boosh!]

Hello

Dropped my iPhone the other day whilst I was running with no cover on and it fell out o my pocket whilst I was trying to get out of the car ( buckets ftl)

Anyway the back if my iPhone now has a few scratches and the odd nick.

Is there any way to restore this? I was going to wetsand ut but don't know what will happen?

I can't seem to find new backs or bezels Either an the look tricky to replace!

Can someone point me in the right direction ?

i want to know this too.. i keep finding people on youtube sanding it down :S lol

I think if u sand it down and scratch it, it will give the stainless steel look?

Don't really want that I want to keep it White I can't seem to find any genuine rears either. Does anyone know if they are hard to replace?

I emailed this iPhone repair business who wanted £90 :dead:

theres loads of back coves on ebay, just a bit fiddly getting it off imo.

I've got a big scratch on the back of mine, I gave it a quick rub with some sandpaper.

You can get some nice white cases for them, just bang one of those on and it'l be reet

Iv already got a nice case for it but it pisses me off

I was like that when I got my first scratch. Problem with white ones is that you get s**t in the scratch....megafcuckingfail

I pc'd my old one. Worked ok depends how deep they are I guess.

There are loads of vids on youtube on how to change the backs

Does this void warranty if you replace with a different colour i.e blue?

Used it on my old abused iPod a few years ago and it was pretty impressive. Depends how deep the scratches are though!
