Typical iPhone 8 back glass damage
The iPhone 8 has glass on the front and back – during drops one of them usually breaks. The rear is especially at risk during flat drops. Splinters work loose over time and can leave scratches or stick into your hands.
As soon as the glass on the back breaks, sharp edges form. Besides the visual damage, that is also a practical problem when handling the device every day.
During heavy drops the Qi charging coil behind the back glass can be damaged. After the back glass replacement we explicitly check wireless charging – so you know whether it works again.
Even without a crack, the glass back can look permanently damaged due to scratches. If you want to keep using your iPhone 8, the back glass can be replaced even for purely cosmetic damage.

How does the iPhone 8 back glass replacement work?
- Visual inspection & damage assessment
We check the condition of the back, the frame and whether the Qi coil behind the glass is affected. If further damage is visible, we communicate it before the repair.
- Remove the back glass safely
The defective glass is loosened with heat and carefully lifted off – on the iPhone 8 the back glass is attached with strong adhesive that requires special technique and experience.
- Apply & align the new back glass
The high-quality replacement back glass is aligned to the millimetre and fixed with professional adhesive. The camera opening and all cutouts are checked for an exact fit.
- Qi charging test & final check
After the back glass replacement we test wireless charging, the camera and the entire exterior for clean workmanship before the device is returned.
In Vienna your iPhone 8 is collected by our pickup service and brought back after the repair – no trip to a shop needed.
Is the iPhone 8 back glass replacement worth it?
The iPhone 8 has a glass back that is required for wireless charging – and when it breaks it is both a visual and a practical nuisance. For 99 € the device looks like new again. A new iPhone 16 starts from 899 €. With back glass damage and no other defects, the replacement is clearly the more economical decision.
- 99 € – fixed price
- All your data is preserved
- 6 months warranty on back glass & work
- Done in approx. 2–3 hours
- Pickup in Vienna or send-in
- From approx. 899 € (iPhone 16, new)
- Data migration required
- Set up apps again
- Dispose of the old device
With several simultaneous defects, buying new can make sense. For a single back glass break, the replacement for 99 € is the clear choice.
Which back glass does Reparo use for the iPhone 8?
For the iPhone 8 back glass replacement we use high-quality replacement back glasses that match the original in colour, shape and quality. The glass is precisely manufactured for the iPhone 8 – with correct cutouts for camera, flash and Apple logo. All parts come with 6 months warranty.
iPhone 8 glass back broken – what to do?
In 2017 the iPhone 8 was the very first iPhone with a glass back – introduced for wireless charging via Qi. This design decision comes at a price: glass breaks, on the back as well as the front. The iPhone 8 back glass repair in Vienna costs 99 € and is therefore considerably cheaper than buying new. After the replacement the device looks flawless again and wireless charging keeps working.
For the back glass replacement on the iPhone 8, the glass has to be loosened from the rear with heat – unlike newer iPhones, where the back glass is released from the inside. This requires special tools and experience. Your data is fully preserved. You can find more iPhone 8 repairs on the model page.

The iPhone 8 came in Space Grey, Silver and Gold. We try to provide the replacement glass in the original colour. When booking your appointment you can specify the colour – if the desired colour is not available, we let you know in advance.

The back glass replacement for the iPhone 8 costs 99 € – fixed price. The price includes the replacement back glass, the installation and 6 months warranty. The 25 € diagnostic check is waived when you place a repair order.
What is included in the 99 €?
High-quality replacement back glass, professional removal of the old glass, installation of the new glass, Qi charging test and 6 months warranty on back glass and work.
How long does the back glass replacement on the iPhone 8 take?
Approx. 2–3 hours. The back glass replacement takes a little longer than a screen replacement, because the glass has to be loosened with heat. With pickup in Vienna you get the device back the same or next day.
Why does the iPhone 8 have a glass back at all?
Apple introduced the glass back on the iPhone 8 to enable wireless charging via Qi. Plastic or metal would block charging. The glass allows the charging energy to be transferred through the housing.
Does wireless charging still work after the back glass replacement?
Yes, in most cases. We explicitly test Qi charging after the replacement. If the charging coil behind the glass is damaged, we inform you about possible extra work before the repair.
Can I have the back glass replaced in the original colour?
We try to provide the replacement glass in Space Grey, Silver or Gold. Specify the desired colour when booking – if it is unavailable, we let you know in advance.
Do you use original back glasses or compatible ones?

Can I drop off the iPhone 8 in person for the back glass replacement?
Walk-in is not possible at Reparo. You book an appointment, we collect the device in Vienna via our pickup service, or you send it in by post.
How does the pickup service for the back glass replacement in Vienna work?

Yes, send-ins from all over Austria are possible. Book an appointment, pack the device well and send it in. Return after repair – 1–3 working days after arrival.
Will I lose my data during the back glass replacement?
No. Only the back glass is replaced – storage, photos, apps and settings are fully preserved.
What warranty applies to the new back glass?
6 months warranty on the installed back glass and the work. In case of problems with no external influence, we rectify free of charge.
Do I lose the Apple warranty through the back glass replacement?
The iPhone 8 came out in 2017 – the Apple warranty has long expired on all devices. Our 6-month warranty applies fully and independently.
Is the back glass replacement worth it or should I buy a new iPhone?
99 € vs. a new iPhone 16 from 899 €. With a broken back glass as the only defect, the replacement is clearly more sensible. The device works flawlessly again afterwards.
What if my iPhone 8 also has water damage besides the back glass?
Water damage is diagnosed separately (25 €, waived on repair). A broken back glass reduces the IP67 protection – if water has got in, the diagnostic check clarifies the extent.
