If my entire back of my Iphone is cracked, except for the actual camera, can I use this as my new back? Or should I purchase a different back?

You can use this back cover but on my 4s, the camera and flash didn't line up. It still took pictures just fine but the quality of the product is not so great.

Yes you can use this. Unfortunately, it's even easier to crack than the original iphone backing. So be careful not to drop it.

You would be able to if it was made properly. Unfortunately, this product is poorly manufactured and looks nothing like the photograph. The hooks that are supposed to attach it to the phone are made of cheap plastic, lack the metal liner the real iPhone ones have and will break off before you can actually get it on your phone. And I have experience fixing iPhones. Don't buy this crap.

I am not sure what "a whole body armor skin" is.This model requires the original width and thickness of the iPhone5S.I have, however, thin films on the back and front. This setup still works fine. If you have a thicker armor skin, it need be removed before using the battery case. I have done it before. It is not big deal to do so. Not having battery backup is far critical than inconvenience.

Hey I had the same thing happen to me, I had just taken off the rubber protective backing to clean it, and it slipped out of my wet hands (cleaner) and onto hard (practically stone) floor! It shattered mostly at the top.. but it still works perfectly , the camera, mic etc.. all good,! I only bought it 3 months ago, for over 200 bucks, and an apple rep said it would cost over 100 dollars to replace screen~ ! Insane!! I am looking and hopefully have found a clip on set with a hard rubberized clear front, and backing, that will protect it, and hopefully keep it from getting worse! The regular screen protectors will not go on do to "bumpy texture" .... Your post did not say if yours is still working or not, but if it is,, I will let you know if it works.. and you let me know if you get anything out of your warranty. Deal? I hope so! Thanks Kimmy

It's just a case. However if the cracked back cover is not completely falling apart just buy this and put it on over the cracked cover and it should solve your problem.

Yes, this cover replaces the whole back. You will pull off your current back and snap this one on in its place.

I would suggest you contact them directly about this. I believe their customer support email is: cs@elagodesign.com I would like to warn you the only iphone I've ever had where the screen actually shattered was when using this case. This has been the worst case I've ever purchased. Hope this helps.

I would say more against scratches!! If u drop your iPhone and the full body screen protector on but no case I'm pretty sure you would have to be lucky for your phone not to break but you wouldn't have to worry about scratching up anywhere that the screen protector covers! So in my opinion u still need a case! Just not such a bulky one lol

Be aware that if you get it customized from Apple.com, you can only return it if it is defective, even if you are willing to pay the 10% restocking fee. And if you do decide to return a defect unit, make sure you do not get it serviced, because if you do, you can not return it any more. All these are stated in the Apple's return policy. I would recommend buying a standard model and upgrading it as needed. The process was made very easy and you probably will end up paying less.

I ran my ipad over (was in the winter guess it fell out of my bag) and bent back housing along with shattering my LCD and screen. I just bent the ipad back as best I could and the screen fits just fine! Just do a test fix before you use the adhesive and get it squared away!

Yes if the back of your phone is broken. It is only the back. Also make sure you have the tiny screw driver because they are odd shaped screws.

Nope, don't need a new back for the AT&T; version. And mine works well. I'd recommend it.

Well i have never had a problem with my camera so yes i would request another phone or a full refund. You may have too many pictures on your phone too. You may try deleting some of them.

You need to peel the black back lite film off of your old one. It does not come with it. Careful the black back lite film is easy to tear.

If you mean the back cover that protects the battery and the sd card, sure you can break it off, again why would you?If you're using it for its intended purpose, an action cam, that little bit of protection is well worth it.Now if you just want to plug in a usb cord to charge it, I'd say drill out the back cover, much better idea and I've seen it done a few times.

Absolutely, its a separate piece from the rear casing. So if the screen protector gets messed up some how, its as easy as getting a new one.

When mine arrived it needed to be set up with my info, upon registering it with apple found out that it was registered in someone else's name, so they changed it for me. So,it was previously owned, but I don't think they used it much as it was in new condition. Seems to work fine, only had one issue where it crashed when upgrading iOS 7 I didn't have it pluged in my mistake, lost all my pics as I hadn't signed up for iCloud acct, which I have now. No other issues great machine for the price.

I don't actually know the answer to that question... I do know that the back casing looks identical to the original back casing on the iPhone 4s and was the same weight and seemed durability. I even compared the camera lens hole the other day (still had the shattered back for some reason) and they seemed to be the same size and looked similar. But my pictures come out pretty light. They aren't bad pics; nor are they distorted, they are just light. I just use a photo editor and manually darken them and add more contrast where needed.
