Is there a way to replace the rear camera glass without remove the back cover?

Kelby - Mar 14, 2016

Steve, I’m not sure if anyone told you yet, but yes. Using some pointed tweezers (CAREFULLY) you can pull the glass off. But, be very careful as the housing holding the glass can be damaged due to the tweezers.
