iPhone 7 Back Cover Repair Vienna
The iPhone 7 has an aluminium housing – tougher than the glass backs of later models, but prone to denting and deep scratches when dropped onto asphalt or concrete. A damaged housing doesn't just hurt the looks, it can also compromise the IP67 water resistance. Reparo replaces the back cover in Vienna for 89 € – approx. 2–3 hours, pickup service.

Typical back cover damage on the iPhone 7
The iPhone 7's aluminium housing dents when dropped onto asphalt or hard surfaces. Unlike glass, aluminium doesn't shatter – but dents and bent corners stay visible and can damage the seals.
Scraping contact on rough surfaces leaves deep scratches in the aluminium that can't be polished out. A housing replacement restores the original look.
The protective glass over the single rear camera lens can be handled separately from the housing (19 € camera glass replacement). If the housing itself is damaged, a full housing replacement makes more sense.
If the housing no longer sits flush after a drop or shows uneven gaps, moisture can get into the device and void the IP67 protection. A replacement closes the seals fully again.
A bent aluminium housing can form sharp edges that make the device uncomfortable to hold and can damage pockets or cases. The new housing sits flat and secure again.
On certain iPhone 7 colour variants (Black Matte), the coating can flake or rub off over the years. A housing replacement restores the original appearance.
How does the iPhone 7 back cover repair work?
- Damage assessment and fit check
We check the extent of the housing damage and whether seals, camera glass or other components are also affected. This defines the exact repair scope before we start.
- Fully disassemble the device
On the iPhone 7 the housing sits tighter than on older models due to the IP67 seals. A full disassembly is required for the housing replacement – all components are removed carefully.
- Fit the new aluminium housing and renew the seals
The new housing is fitted, all components are reinstalled and the IP67 seals are renewed – so the splash protection is fully restored.
- Fit check and full test
Gaps, button response, the mute switch and all ports are tested. The device is only returned once it has fully passed the test.
We collect the iPhone 7 via pickup service in Vienna or receive it by post from all over Austria. No walk-in needed.
Is the back cover replacement worth it on the iPhone 7?
A damaged aluminium housing is more than a cosmetic issue. If the seals are damaged, the IP67 protection is gone – and the iPhone 7 is no longer safe in rain or with water contact. The 89 € replacement restores both the look and the protection.
- 89 € – fixed price including fitting
- IP67 seals are renewed
- All data and settings are preserved
- 6 months warranty on housing & labour
- Done in approx. 2–3 hours
- Approx. 80–150 € – housing condition unknown
- Data migration and fresh setup required
- No warranty on the used device
If the iPhone 7 also has a faulty display and battery alongside the back cover, the overall effort should be weighed up. With isolated housing damage, the replacement is worth it.
Which housing does Reparo use for the iPhone 7?
We use exact-fit aluminium housings for the iPhone 7 – in the available original colours (Silver, Black, Jet Black, Gold, Rose Gold). The housings come without fitted components, all original parts are transferred over. IP67 seals are renewed with every housing replacement. 6 months warranty on the housing and the labour.
iPhone 7 Back Cover Repair Vienna – aluminium instead of glass
The iPhone 7 has one of the last full aluminium backs in iPhone history – from the iPhone 8 onwards Apple switched to glass to enable wireless charging. Aluminium is in many cases tougher than glass – it doesn't shatter – but it can dent in a drop. The advantage: a bent aluminium housing doesn't have to be replaced immediately if no seals are damaged. Reparo checks this during the diagnostic.
IP67 protection after a housing replacement
The iPhone 7's IP67 splash protection relies on seals between the housing and display as well as at all openings. With a housing replacement, all seals are renewed – so the protection is fully restored after the repair.
How sending in from all over Austria works
If you live outside Vienna, you send the iPhone 7 in by post, securely packed. Reparo repairs the housing and sends the device back. Book an appointment, receive the instructions, send it in – done.

Yes. Reparo renews all IP67 seals with every housing replacement. After the repair the splash protection is fully restored.
Does the iPhone 7 have aluminium or glass on the back?

Can the camera glass be replaced separately from the housing?
Yes. The protective glass over the rear camera lens can be replaced separately for 19 € – as long as the housing itself is not damaged. Reparo checks this beforehand.
