iPhone X Back Glass Repair Vienna
The iPhone X was the first iPhone with a glass back since the iPhone 4 back in 2017 – and this very back panel is often the first thing to break after a drop. The stainless steel frame survives falls better than aluminium, but the back glass behind it is no less prone to cracking. Reparo replaces the back glass of your iPhone X in Vienna for 129 € – done in 2–3 hours, with 6 months warranty. Wireless charging works flawlessly again after the swap. Pickup service in Vienna or send-in from all over Austria.

Typical back glass damage on the iPhone X
The iPhone X drops onto a hard surface and the back glass breaks into several pieces. The stainless steel frame often stays intact, but the glass behind it cannot withstand the impact. Loose shards turn handling the device into an injury risk.
After a minor drop, fine cracks appear in the back glass while the electronics keep running. Even so: hairline cracks spread over time, moisture seeps in, and the glass becomes more prone to breaking with every further knock.
The iPhone X was one of the first iPhones with Qi charging. A cracked back glass can change the distance to the charging pad and disturb the charging contacts. After the glass swap, wireless charging is stable and usable again.
When pieces of glass come away and end up in pockets or cases, the device becomes a safety hazard. At this point a quick swap makes sense – before further shards break off and dust gets inside.
Sometimes a hard object in your trouser pocket is enough to dent the back glass of the iPhone X. The surface bulges, cracks form, and the housing loses its seal against dust and moisture.
The transition from the stainless steel frame to the glass is particularly exposed on the iPhone X. Scratches and chips along the edges not only look bad – they weaken the glass structure and make a complete break more likely on the next drop.
You will find all iPhone X repairs – from screen to camera – on the model overview.
How the iPhone X back glass replacement works
- Damage assessment & diagnosis
We check whether only the back glass is broken or whether the stainless steel frame also shows deformation or dents. We also inspect whether moisture or dust has made its way into the housing.
- Fully remove the old back glass
The back glass of the iPhone X is bonded directly to the stainless steel frame with industrial adhesive. We detach it in a controlled, residue-free way – without damaging the wireless charging coil underneath or any internal components.
- Fit & bond the new back glass
An original-format replacement glass cut for the iPhone X is positioned precisely and bonded permanently. The cut-out for the dual camera and the flash are aligned to fit perfectly.
- Function test & quality control
Wireless charging is tested, the fit of the new glass against the stainless steel frame is checked, and the camera cut-out is verified for accuracy. Only once everything is flawless is the device released.
Your iPhone X is collected by our driver in Vienna and returned directly after the back glass replacement. If you live outside Vienna, you can also send the device to us by post.
Is the iPhone X back glass replacement still worth it?
The iPhone X is now an older model, but for many users it is still perfectly adequate in everyday life. The 5.8-inch OLED display, Face ID and the dual camera make it a solid companion. With a pure glass damage on the back, the swap for 129 € almost always pays off – a used replacement device costs at least 120 € without warranty, plus the effort of data migration and setting it up again.
- 129 € – fixed price without surprises
- Safety restored, no more shards
- Wireless charging working again
- 6 months warranty on glass & labour
- Done in 2–3 hours
- Pickup Vienna or send-in
- From around 120 € (used, without warranty)
- Condition and battery health uncertain
- Data migration and setup required
- Sell or dispose of the old device
If there are further defects alongside the back glass – such as a damaged display or a weak battery – a quick chat about the overall costs makes sense. With a pure glass damage, the swap for 129 € is the clearly cheaper solution.
Which back glass is fitted on the iPhone X?
For the back glass replacement on the iPhone X we use original-format replacement glass in the exact iPhone X cut. The glass fits seamlessly into the stainless steel frame and covers the cut-outs for the vertical dual camera and the flash precisely. The wireless charging coil underneath remains untouched during fitting – wireless charging works reliably again after the swap.
Broken back glass on the iPhone X – why you should not wait
The iPhone X kicked off a design change in 2017 that still shapes things today: glass front, glass back, stainless steel frame. This build looks premium and enables wireless charging – but it makes the back prone to breaking. A fall from table height onto a stone floor is often enough to destroy the back glass. The sturdy stainless steel frame usually survives the same drop unharmed, but the glass behind it does not.
Why a cracked back glass is not just a cosmetic problem
Shards that come loose injure hands and damage pockets. Open cracks let dust and moisture into the housing – over the long term that can attack the logic board and other sensitive components. Wireless charging also often becomes unreliable with a broken back glass, because the distance to the Qi coil is no longer right. The longer you wait, the more likely follow-up damage becomes, leading to a more expensive repair.
Reparo replaces the back glass of your iPhone X for 129 € – with 6 months warranty and completion in 2–3 hours. Your data, photos and apps stay completely untouched. You book an appointment online and our driver collects the device directly from you in Vienna. From the rest of Austria – such as Graz, Linz or Salzburg – you can also send the iPhone X to us safely packaged by post.
Frequently asked questions about the iPhone X back glass replacement
What does the back glass replacement cost on the iPhone X?
The back glass replacement for the iPhone X costs 129 € fixed price. This includes the replacement glass, the professional fitting and 6 months warranty on glass and labour. The diagnostic check costs 25 € and is waived if you decide to go ahead with the repair.
How long does the iPhone X back glass repair take?
The back glass replacement usually takes 2–3 hours on the iPhone X. The old glass has to be carefully detached from the stainless steel frame and the new one bonded precisely. With pickup in Vienna you usually get the device back the same day.
Does wireless charging still work after the back glass replacement?
Yes. The Qi charging coil sits beneath the back glass and is not altered during the swap. After fitting the new glass, wireless charging on the iPhone X is fully usable again. We confirm this in the final function test.
Why does the iPhone X have a glass back in the first place?
Apple switched to a glass back on the iPhone X in 2017 to enable wireless charging via the Qi standard – this does not work through a metal housing. It was the first iPhone with glass on the back since the iPhone 4. The design looks premium, but it makes the glass prone to breaking.
Is the stainless steel frame at risk during the back glass replacement?
No. The stainless steel frame of the iPhone X is sturdy and is not damaged during the back glass replacement. We detach the glass in a controlled way and fit the new one precisely. If the frame already has dents or deformation from the fall, we discuss this with you before the repair starts.
Can I still use the iPhone X with a broken back glass?
Short term that is possible, but not advisable. Loose shards are an injury risk, moisture and dust get into the housing through open cracks, and wireless charging can become unreliable. The sooner it is swapped, the lower the risk of follow-up damage to the electronics.
Will I lose data during the back glass repair?
No. During the back glass replacement only the glass on the back is changed. The storage and all photos, apps and data stored on it remain fully intact. We still recommend a backup via iCloud or your computer before any repair.
How does the pickup service for the iPhone X work?
You book an appointment online with a time slot. Our driver comes directly to you in Vienna, collects the iPhone X and delivers it back after the back glass replacement. You do not have to travel anywhere – we handle the transport.
I don't live in Vienna – can I send in the iPhone X?
Yes. You book an appointment online, pack the iPhone X securely and send it to us by post. After the back glass replacement we send it straight back. The repair time is 1–3 working days after arrival. Customers from Graz, Linz, Salzburg and the entire country use this option regularly.
Does Reparo offer a walk-in service?
No. Reparo works exclusively with pickup service in Vienna and send-in by post. Dropping by spontaneously is not possible. This way we make sure the right replacement part is in stock and enough time is scheduled for your repair.
Which replacement glass is used on the iPhone X?
We use original-format back glass in the iPhone X cut. It has the same dimensions and the same thickness as the original glass, with exact cut-outs for the vertical dual camera and the flash. The glass is bonded professionally and fits seamlessly into the stainless steel frame.
How long does the warranty on the new back glass last?
Reparo gives 6 months warranty on the fitted back glass and the work carried out. If the glass shows problems within this time without external influence – such as detachment or material defects – it is checked free of charge and swapped again if needed.
What happens if there is damage beyond the back glass?
We inspect the iPhone X fully before the repair. If, alongside the back glass, the display or the battery is also affected, we inform you of the overall costs before we start. The diagnostic check costs 25 € and is waived when you place a repair order.
Is the iPhone X back glass repair still worth it?
With a pure glass damage, yes. For 129 € you restore safety, looks and wireless charging. A used iPhone X costs at least 120 € – without warranty and with an unknown battery condition. As long as the iPhone X is enough for you in everyday life, the back glass replacement is the more economical choice.
What does the diagnostic check cost if I'm not sure whether only the glass is affected?
The diagnostic check costs 25 € and is fully waived if you have the repair carried out. We check whether only the back glass is broken or whether the frame, seals or internal components have taken damage too – and confirm the price of 129 € before the repair starts.
