Rather have us call you?

Leave your name and number. We will call you back to confirm stock and a time that suits you.

The Note8 has a glass back bonded to the frame with adhesive. Once it cracks, the damage spreads and sharp edges start lifting. Dust and moisture then have a way in, which is bad news for a phone with a wireless charging coil sitting right behind that glass.

We remove the broken cover, clean off the old adhesive and bond an original Samsung back in your colour. Part and fitting are included in the price shown.

Signs you need this repair

  • Cracked or shattered glass on the back
  • Sharp edges catching your fingers or pocket
  • Back cover lifting away from the frame
  • Wireless charging stopped working after a drop

Common questions

Can I keep using my Note8 with a cracked back?

You can, but the cracks spread and small shards work loose over time. The gap also lets in dust and moisture, and the wireless charging coil sits directly behind the glass. A cover will contain it for a while, but replacement is the proper fix.

Will the new back cover match my phone's colour?

Yes. We fit original Samsung covers made for the SM-N950F, so the colour and finish match what came out the box. Let us know your colour when you book, for example Midnight Black or Orchid Grey, and we will confirm what is available.

Does replacing the back affect water resistance?

The new cover is bonded with fresh adhesive, the same way Samsung seals it in the factory. That said, adhesive seals age on any phone, so do not treat a device this age as waterproof, repair or no repair.
