  I'm no iphoneoisseur, but I'm pretty sure the iphone X only has a front screen.

  Cheap option would be a $1 TPU black case and hide the problem

  Cheaper again is to ignore it completely

  I believe it trips the upper limit of ~$450 where they just replace the device, because it’s a non-removable panel. Apple often makes these questionable design > practicality decisions, as much as I like their products.

    It’s $889 for the iPhone X back glass at Apple

      Wow. I stand corrected.

      They seriously need to update that pricing. It seems like it’s to protect the value of the product, by preventing people from buying used, broken models cheaply and then repairing it. Clever, but dirty.

      But it’s not repairing your phone. You get a new one from them. Either way, not worth it

  Put a nice case on your phone :)

  Or if you have a laser:

  Hello katy,
  What I did was purchased a leather sticker and placed it over the back similar to a very thin case.
  I think its better and not as slippery as before. The cheapest I was quoted was $120 at shopping centres however I didn’t think it was worth going ahead with it

  saw a youtube video to replace it and yeah, its near on impossible for any average joe mobile repair shop to replace the back glass.

  as people already mentioned just get a case and hide it.
