By the way, replacing the case on the iPhone 5 may be necessary not only if it is damaged, but also if you want to change the appearance of your favorite gadget. We replace the cover and your iPhone is like new!

How to change the case in the fifth iPhone yourself

Replacing the case on an iPhone 5 with your own hands is not an easy procedure, but it is possible. The main thing is to do everything strictly according to the instructions. To carry out repairs, you will need specialized tools for repairing Apple equipment, a little time and patience. The work must be done very carefully, slowly, so as not to damage any of the microscopic parts. For convenience, it is also recommended to take a pallet or tray to put small parts there. To change the cover, you will have to thoroughly disassemble the device due to its design features.

1. Turn off the power and remove your SIM card using a special standard device.
2. We unscrew the two bolts at the bottom near the connector.
3. We place the suction cup just next to the Home button and secure it.
4. Pull the suction cup slightly so that the display moves away a little, then use a thin spatula to gradually open the screen from bottom to top. Be careful, it will not come off completely, as it is additionally secured with cables.
5. As you guessed, next we need to sequentially disconnect all the cables in order to completely remove the display module. To do this, you need to unscrew the bolts of the protective cover and remove it, after which you can use a spatula to remove the cable from the board.
6. Now you can remove the display completely.
7. We remove the battery. It is also held in place by a bolt and glue. But by helping yourself with a spatula, you will cope with this task.
8. After unscrewing 7 more bolts, we free the remaining insides of the mobile, including the motherboard and camera.
9. Remove the remaining cables.
10. If you have a new case assembly, then at this stage you immediately proceed to installing it and assembling the smartphone in the reverse order. If not, take out the remaining parts and immediately put them in a new lid. It's not difficult, there are no pitfalls here.

It is very important not to mix up all the bolts, as they have different lengths and diameters. If you have no experience at all in disassembling and assembling a phone, then it will be difficult to replace the case correctly on your own; damage is possible, the repair of which will cost an order of magnitude more than simply changing the case from a professional technician.

We unscrew the pentalobe fasteners, remove the bracket, disconnect the control button cables, lower and upper. We dismantle the keys, vibration motor, motherboard, speakers, charging socket.

At the last stage of disassembly, we remove the front panel and screw fasteners, replace the case and assemble the mobile phone in the reverse order. Then we check the device and send it to the quality control department for re-testing.

Apple designers and developers did a great job creating iPhone 5. It is light, compact, thin, one might say, airy! At the same time, its functionality is quite impressive, and its design will not leave anyone indifferent. The aluminum body is perfectly polished, attracting with its smoothness and shine! Naturally, not every iPhone 5 owner wants to hide their pride behind a protective case.

And how annoying it becomes later when, after some time, it turns out that the phone is no longer as attractive as at the beginning... The solution may be to replace the case with an iPhone 5.

Common reasons for changing housing

Replacing the case is quite common for iPhone 5. There can be many reasons for this and the sources of such reasons are also different.

Due to the use of the phone without a case, mechanical damage to the case is common, such as:

Scratches,
- chips,
- dents.

• Hard-to-remove dirt can get into the cracks of the case, which can also cause you to replace the back cover of your iPhone.
• When carrying your phone in your back pocket or in your pocket with your keys, it is not uncommon for the case to get dents and scratches.
• Blows and falls can also be disastrous.

In order to avoid quickly replacing the iPhone 5 case, you should remember a few simple rules:

1. use a protective cover;
2. prevent dirt from getting on the phone;
3. Avoid carrying your phone in your back pocket;
4. Do not carry keys, small change, or other sharp metal (and non-metal) objects with your phone.

Then, replacing the case on iPhone 5 may not be useful to you. Well, if it’s too late to carry out preventive measures, then you should contact a service center to change the back cover of your iPhone 5 and maintain the new case in excellent condition.

How much does it cost to change the case for iPhone 5?

If you want to change the case on iPhone 5, the price may vary greatly among different masters. This is primarily due to the use of an original or non-original case. When you need a case replacement for iPhone 5, the price will be higher if you use the original case. But this will guarantee a long service life for your phone.

Replacing the iPhone 5 case, the price of which is slightly higher than other iPhone-related repairs, is also determined by the complexity of this procedure. After all, in order to change the back cover of an iPhone 5, you need to completely disassemble the phone down to the last screw. This procedure is quite complicated, especially for craftsmen who have little experience in such operations. In addition, there is a risk of damaging the system parts of the device. Due to the fact that the phone is quite thin, the developers stuffed its body quite densely with parts. Therefore, any overtightened or unevenly screwed screw can play a fatal role in the life of your phone.

When choosing a place to repair your phone, always pay attention to the professionalism of the technicians. And don’t be mistaken that replacing the case is not exactly a repair, since you don’t actually need to repair anything. In fact, this is an even more responsible procedure, since global disassembly of the phone is not required.

Come to our service center and then you, with a light heart, will be able to watch how your phone, with the purchase of a new case, acquires its former shine and beauty! Moreover, you can at the same time change the color of the case, and then at the end you will get an almost new phone! For advice, please contact our service center or write to the website.

Related to the repair of Apple equipment. Today's episode is dedicated to replacing and repairing iPhone and iPad cases.

Do I need to replace a damaged case or can it just be repaired?

Conditionally, damage can be divided into two types:

1) Case frame jams.
2) Curvature of the entire body geometry.

Jam- This is the most common damage when an iPhone or iPad is dropped.

Most often, the device falls at an angle - due to this, the case is wrinkled and affects the display module. If after a fall you see a jam on the case, and cracks appear on the display, you need to replace not only the display, but also repair the case. If you do not straighten the case, sooner or later the new display module will begin to come apart, delaminate and bend.

Before replacing the display, our specialists always check the case for jammed corners and make repairs if necessary. Moreover, this is done free of charge, because high-quality installation of a new display is impossible without eliminating problems with the case. Correcting the corners of an iPhone is done with a special tool - the G Tool, which allows you to straighten the corners of any model.

If the body is bent in one of the planes, unfortunately, the entire body will need to be replaced. One of the properties of metal is that it can stretch, so it’s not possible to perfectly stretch the entire body no matter how hard you try.

How long does it take to replace an iPhone and iPad case and how is the repair done?

Replacement occurs in several stages:

— The old device is being disassembled.
— The motherboard and all kinds of cables are removed and transferred to a new case.
— A full diagnosis of the gadget is carried out - all important functions are checked. Only after this can the work be called completed.

How much does it cost to replace an iPhone and iPad case? What types of enclosures are there?

The price consists of two components - the cost of the body and the cost of work. The main cost is the housing: remember, the more expensive the housing, the better its quality. Let us remind you that Apple does not supply spare parts for open sale, so all new cases are well-made copies. In terms of their qualities, they are in no way inferior to the original, so you will not notice any visual or tactile difference.

The second part is the work itself, which is less expensive. Replacing the case is one of the most difficult jobs performed by a technician, because each component of the device is very fragile and can be damaged if handled carelessly.

Are there colored cases on the iPhone? What is their quality?

It would be a good idea to clarify about the rear camera glass - whether they moved it from the old case. The fact is that all the protective glass of the cameras on replica bodies is made of plastic and, as a result, gets scratched faster. When you receive your device from repair, be sure to check all the important functions - cellular communication, display module, speakers and, of course, charging.
