The iPhone 17 Air came out in 2025, with a 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and the A19 chip. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with Face ID. There is a titanium frame, and it is rated IP68. The thinnest phone Apple has made, with one camera on the back. Nothing else in the range looks like it. Ireland gets the A3517.

What this fixes
Why people book a back glass replacement.
- 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.
- Sharp edges that catch on a pocketIt stops being cosmetic at this point. Loose glass cuts and it lets dust and moisture at the inside.
- 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.
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.
IfYou are selling or trading the phone soon
Worth doing. A cracked back takes more off a trade-in valuation than the repair costs on most models.
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.
IfWireless charging stopped at the same time
Say so when you book, because the coil may need replacing along with the glass and that changes the price.
IfThe frame is bent as well as the back cracked
Bring it in before anything is ordered. A new back does not sit right on a bent frame and we would rather tell you that first.
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?
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Apple service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.
Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your phone is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.
What the €115 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.
Priced at the counterThe €115 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
Book online in about two minutes, or walk in without an appointment. Describe the symptom rather than the repair, it is more useful to us.
Free diagnostic
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
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
It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.
Bench testing
We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.
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.
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.
Seal around the edge
Refitted with fresh adhesive so rain and splashes stay out, which is the honest limit of what a resealed phone can promise.
What happens to what is on it?
This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.
We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.
Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.
What about the water resistance?
Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.
An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.
Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.
If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.
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.

€115, 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.
No, and treat it as no longer water resistant from the moment the glass broke, not from the moment we open it. We refit with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal, but nobody outside a laboratory can restore an IP68 rating and we will not claim to.
It should, and we test it before you get the phone back. The charging coil sits directly under the rear panel, so it is one of the things a rear glass repair can disturb.
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.
