The Galaxy A17 5G came out in 2025, with a 6.7 inch Super AMOLED display. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with an optical fingerprint reader under the display. There is a plastic frame, and it is rated IP68. An entry model with a moulded camera island. Parts for the A series are widely available, which keeps these repairs cheap. The one sold in Ireland is SM-A176B.

What this fixes
Why people book a back glass replacement.
- Cracked or shattered rear panelThe phone works, the back is broken. Mostly cosmetic at first, and it does not stay that way.
- Wireless charging gone since the breakSometimes the coil underneath is disturbed. Worth mentioning when you book, because it changes what we check.
- Pieces missing around the camera housingThe most common place for the back to fail, because the camera stands proud and lands first.
- Wireless charging has stopped workingThe coil sits under the back glass and can take damage in the same impact that broke it.
- The back is cracked and the phone will not sit flatCheck the battery. A swelling cell pushes from inside and it is a different and more urgent job.
- A cracked camera lens as well as the backTwo separate parts. The lens usually matters more, because it shows up in every photograph.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely just the back glass?
The back is the one repair where doing nothing is a reasonable choice for a while, so it is worth being straight about when it is not.
IfThe back is cracked but nothing is lifting
There is no urgency. Put a case on it and book when it suits. It is worth knowing the phone is no longer sealed against water.
IfPieces are coming away or it is cutting your fingers
Get it done. Loose glass spreads, and it makes a straightforward job into a longer one.
IfThe camera glass is broken rather than the panel
That is usually a separate and cheaper part, so ask us before booking a full rear glass replacement.
IfThe glass is cracked and flat and nothing else has changed
No urgency. It does not spread the way a front screen does, and it can wait until it suits you.
IfGlass is lifting or coming away in pieces
Do it now. Loose glass cuts, and a back that has started shedding is a longer job than one that has not.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
What parts do we fit?
Where Samsung supplies a service part for this component, that is what goes in. Where it does not, we fit premium aftermarket and say so. Which of the two you are getting is settled before you agree to anything, and the 360-day warranty does not change between them.
The words genuine and Samsung certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.
- The back glass is the way into a Galaxy for most internal repairs, so it comes off routinely. It is replaced with fresh adhesive and reseated rather than reused.
What the €35 includes
- A replacement rear panel fitted and sealed
- The camera surround checked and replaced where it is part of the panel
- Wireless charging tested after fitting
- 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship
Nothing extra gets done and charged for without you saying yes to it. Where the diagnostic turns up a second fault, the work stops there and you hear the price before it goes any further.
Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.
Choose the part
Two tiers, named before you agree.
Back glass is cosmetic and structural at once, so the tier question is really about colour match and how the adhesive behaves.
Value Edition
Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification. On most colours it is indistinguishable; on a handful of finishes it is very slightly off and we will tell you which yours is before you decide.
€35The €35 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
Ask about the wireless charging coil at the same time. It sits under this glass, it can be damaged in the same impact, and it is cheaper to sort while the phone is already open.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Tell us what it is doing
Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.
Free diagnostic
We confirm what has actually failed before anything is ordered or opened. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
You approve the price
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
The repair is carried out
Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.
Bench testing
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
Back in your hands
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
Before it goes back
What we test every time.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Wireless charging
On a pad, because the coil sits directly under the panel that has just been replaced.
Rear cameras
Every lens, checked for fragments and for focus, since the camera glass sits in the same assembly on most models.
Seal and fit
Edges checked all the way round. A back that is proud at one corner will lift again.
Camera and flash through the new glass
Photographed against a plain surface to check for haze, which is how a badly seated lens shows up.
Is anything on the device at risk?
We are replacing a part, not reading a phone. Your photos, messages and accounts are not something this job touches.
The one place it comes up is testing. A repair is not finished until it has been used, and using a locked device means a passcode. You are welcome to withhold it, and we will tell you which checks that leaves undone rather than quietly skipping them. A passcode you do give us lives on a paper docket that gets shredded, never in a database.
Back it up first if you can. A device that has taken a knock has had its storage shaken whether or not anything looks wrong, and a backup is free insurance against the day that matters.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
Treat the phone as no longer water resistant after any repair, including ours.
Apple's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed phone under controlled laboratory conditions. It is not a permanent property of the device. The seal degrades with age, heat and everyday knocks long before anybody opens it.
Opening a phone means cutting through that seal. We refit the display with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal and keeps ordinary splashes and rain out. What we will not do is tell you it is back to IP68, because we have no way to test that and neither does any independent shop in Ireland.
If your phone lives near water, say so when you book and we will talk you through what the adhesive does and does not cover.
The 360-day warranty
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Three ways to get it to us
- Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
- We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
- Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

€35, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
It depends on the phone and on you. It is cosmetic while the glass stays put, so there is no urgency if nothing is lifting. Two things change that: loose pieces spread and cut, and a cracked back takes more off a trade-in valuation than the repair usually costs.
On some models the rear glass is bonded into the housing and the whole device has to come apart to change it. On others it lifts off on its own and the job is far quicker. It is worth asking for your exact model, because the difference is large.
On most models yes, and we tell you before we start if your colour is one where it will not. Some finishes are made in a way nobody outside the factory reproduces exactly.
Yes, noticeably. On most models a cracked back takes more off a trade-in valuation than the repair costs, which is the practical argument for doing it.
You can, and it hides the cracks rather than fixing anything. Glass that is already lifting will keep lifting under a skin.

Customer reviews
Excellent customer service bought my samsung A54 best price in dublin.
As I'm a lawyer, I need a reliable phone. For me, it's an office extension in my pocket. I decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. I live in Drumcondra so being aware of their excellent reputation locally, I visited iMend last week. The manager and assistant could not have been more helpful. I bought the phone and it exceeds my expectations. On checking, the price was the lowest in Dublin. Anyone who needs a phone or a small electronic product will be well looked after by iMend. Great people to deal with!
I left my phone in to be repaired I received a price for repair which was very fair and was actually charged less when I collected the phone I was very pleased with the service and would highly recommend this shop
Excellent service pleasure to deal with this is my 3rd time purchasing a phone from them.
Excellent experience with the team in imend. My husband 50th birthday present was a phone charger and holder for your car and it wouldn't stay attached to his Audi dash. The guys in imend put two devices together to get it working. Very happy Hubbie and wife- lovely guys to work with and they even threw in a birthday charging gift.
This shop is fantastic! Even supplied a loan phone for free while they repaired mine. Very reasonable price and fast too. Also sell new, used and refurb phones with all the gear. Life savers!!
