Fairphone 6 Back Cover Repair Vienna
The Fairphone 6 is certified with IP55 protection against dust and splash water — a cracked or broken back cover voids this protection. We replace the back cover of your Fairphone 6 in Vienna and fully restore the IP55 rating. Affordable, fast and carried out model-specifically.
Why is a damaged back cover on the Fairphone 6 a problem?
The Fairphone 6 has a removable back — that is part of the modular concept and makes a tool-free battery swap possible. At the same time, the back cover is partly responsible for the IP55 splash-water protection. If it is damaged or no longer sits correctly, that protection is effectively gone. We repair in the following situations:
- Back cracked or broken after a drop
- Back cover no longer clicks fully into place
- Deep scratches or chips affect the fit
- Cover bulges slightly — a possible sign of a battery problem underneath
- Moisture ingress because the back cover no longer closes properly
On the Fairphone 6, during the back cover replacement we pay particular attention to the correct snap-in points and all sealing elements, so that IP55 is fully restored after the repair.

Absolutely. 119 € repair vs. 699 € for a new device. On top of that come the guaranteed software updates until 2032 — a new device offers no added value here that would justify the price.
What happens if the cover bulges — could that be a battery problem?
A bulging back can indicate a swollen battery. In that case you should no longer charge the device and contact us immediately — we check the battery and cover together.
