Try looking on ebay or something. I don't know if you can do it. If the phone is still usable, and the back isn't actually just falling apart, I would put a hard case on it and be done with it, and hope it survives you a year.

Unless you do it yourself lg will fix it for a cost o think 100-150 is what lg will charge.

If you can find a replacement back I'm sure you can replace it yourself if you have the skill set to do so

Here's where you can buy the cover. If this isn't right just Google "LG E960 replacement battery cover." You can repair it yourself if you obtain the screw driver small enough for the device's screws.

For 64$ if you have an extra phone you can use I would just send it to LG and have them take care of it IMO

I saw a spare back on eBay for 29.99. And 64 was from lg with them shipping it back and labor. So it kinda evens out. Plus your not opening your phone.

OK so let's say I bought this piece how do I take down the cracked cover?

**patstock11** · 02-26-2013, 08:45 PM

There are 2 torx5 screws on the bottom of the phone and then I believe ya pry it with something thin. There are tutorials on YouTube

64 isnt a bad deal at all id probably just do that so nothing gets screwed up.

If you're still looking to fix it yourself, will probably help you in figuring out how to open it and take the broken glass back off. Honestly though I'd call that repair shop that someone posted.
