Unlike its Plus and Ultra siblings, the S21 has a reinforced polycarbonate back. It does not shatter like glass, but it still cracks in a hard drop, scuffs badly and can lift where the adhesive has let go.

We fit an original Samsung rear cover in your colour, with the camera surround attached, and bond it properly. The price shown includes the cover and the fitting.

Signs you need this repair

  • Crack or split in the back cover after a drop
  • Corner of the cover lifting away from the frame
  • Deep scratches and scuffs that a case cannot hide
  • Camera surround damaged or loose

Common questions

The S21 back is plastic. Is it still worth replacing?

Yes, and it is a simpler job than a glass back. A cracked or lifting cover lets dust and moisture into the phone, and the camera surround forms part of the same piece. An original cover restores the seal and makes the phone look right again.

Can you replace just the camera surround?

The camera surround comes attached to the original Samsung rear cover we fit, so the cover is replaced as one part. That works in your favour, because whichever section is damaged, the surround or the cover itself, a single repair sorts both out at once.

Does replacing the cover affect wireless charging?

No. The charging coil stays inside the phone and the polycarbonate cover sits over it exactly as before. We test wireless charging and the cameras after fitting. Because the cover is an original part, the thickness and fit are identical to what the factory built.
