Typical back cover damage on the Galaxy S21
- Your Galaxy S21 back cover is laced with a spider-web crack pattern - the classic look after a drop
- The camera lens in the back cover has cracked - the camera now takes blurry photos
- 15 W wireless charging cuts out halfway through
- Edges along the frame join have chipped off
- The back cover is peeling away on one side - moisture can creep in
- Long cracks running across the glass mark the impact point of the drop
A damaged back cover is more than just looks - once the adhesive frame has loosened, moisture works its way into the device and can cause mainboard damage. Our Galaxy S21 repair overview shows you every other service in case there is additional damage.
How does the Galaxy S21 back cover replacement work at Reparo?
- Intake diagnosis of the back cover damage
Your Galaxy S21 is checked for the type and extent of damage: glass only? Is the camera lens affected too? Is the Qi coil reachable? We document with photos and draw up a concrete plan.
- Temperature-controlled release of the back cover
The glass adhesive frame is warmed to around 70 °C - with a precision heating mat, not a hot-air gun. The damaged back cover comes away evenly without putting pressure on the frame.
- Removing the old part + adhesive residue
The broken glass is taken off completely and glass splinters in the frame are removed. Old adhesive is dissolved with 99% isopropanol and special spatulas - without scratching the aluminium frame.
- Checking the camera lens + Qi coil
On the Galaxy S21, the camera lens glasses and the wireless-charging coil sit under the back cover. We check both for damage, replace them if needed (agreed separately) and refit them in their original position.
- Bonding the new back cover properly
The OEM part is fixed to the frame with original Samsung adhesive strips. Defined contact pressure, 30 minutes of curing time - the sealing values are back to factory level.
- Final test + quality assurance
Wireless-charging test (if the model supports it), camera test shots, fit check at the frame, rear-finish inspection. You get your Galaxy S21 back looking like new.
Reparo works without an on-site customer counter - your Galaxy S21 is collected by courier in Vienna or sent in insured from the federal provinces.

Frequently asked questions about the Galaxy S21 back cover replacement
What does the back cover replacement for the Galaxy S21 cost in Vienna?
The Galaxy S21 back cover replacement costs a fixed EUR 139 at Reparo in Vienna. Included in the price: the original or OEM back cover part (glass), new adhesive strips for the IP68 frame, Qi coil checked, calibration and a 6-month warranty. The diagnostic check (25 EUR) is waived on repair.
Why does the back cover on the Galaxy S21 break so easily?
The Galaxy S21 back cover is a material compromise between hardness and weight - a glass back with chemical hardening (Gorilla Glass Victus or similar). The glass stands up to everyday scratches but still breaks on impact drops onto edges. Typical triggers: a fall from your trouser pocket onto tiles, an edge on a kerb, pressure from objects sliding around in the car. The replacement is usually faster and cheaper than buying new.
Which symptoms bring customers to us with the Galaxy S21 back cover?
Most common on the Galaxy S21: a shattered glass back or a spider-web pattern from the impact point. Sometimes the camera lens in the back cover has cracked too - then we replace it as part of the back cover replacement or check the camera sensor separately. Every symptom is recorded precisely in the diagnosis before any parts are ordered.
Does more than just the glass need replacing on the Galaxy S21?
For cracks only in the rear glass, replacing the back cover unit including the adhesive frame usually does the job. But if the drop also hit the camera module, the Qi coil or the frame, we check those components in the diagnosis (25 EUR, waived on repair) and give you a clear quote before we work. On the Galaxy S21 the rule is: we fit nothing that isn't needed.
Is the display damaged during the Galaxy S21 back cover replacement?
No. Unlike a battery replacement, with the back cover we go into the device from the rear - the display stays completely untouched. We warm the adhesive frame to 70-80 °C with a special heating mat, release the damaged glass with flat carbon spudgers and bond the new part. Your Galaxy S21 screen stays exactly as it was.
Does IP68 water protection remain on the Galaxy S21 after the back cover replacement?
Yes. With every back cover replacement we renew the complete IP68 adhesive frame all the way around. After proper fitting, your Galaxy S21 reaches the same water and dust protection as from the factory - brief immersion to 1.5 m depth for 30 minutes. We generally advise against active diving or swimming after any housing intervention.
Does wireless charging work after the back cover replacement on the Galaxy S21?
Yes. The Qi charging coil of the Galaxy S21 sits right behind the back cover - during the replacement we refit the coil and then check that charging works at the original speed. If the coil was damaged by the drop, it is replaced separately (cost after diagnosis). Without additional damage, wireless charging works the same after the replacement as before.
How long does the Galaxy S21 back cover replacement take at Reparo?
The actual working time on the Galaxy S21 is around 60-90 minutes. The total turnaround is 1-2 business days, because the new adhesive frame needs around 30 minutes of curing time before the device can be delivered again. We keep parts in stock for the most common Samsung models; for special colours 1 business day may be added for procurement.
Is the pickup service in Vienna included for the Galaxy S21 back cover replacement?
Yes. For the Galaxy S21 our courier drives into all 23 Vienna districts from Monday to Friday. You book a pickup slot online (9 am-6 pm), we collect the device at your home or office and deliver it back after 1-2 business days. The pickup is part of the EUR 139 fixed price - no extra fee.
Can I send the Galaxy S21 in from the federal provinces?
Yes. Customers from Graz, Salzburg, Linz, Innsbruck, Bregenz, Klagenfurt or St. Pölten send the Galaxy S21 in by insured post. After booking we send shipping instructions, and after the replacement the device goes back insured with free return shipping. Diagnostic check 25 EUR (waived on repair), all other costs included in the EUR 139 fixed price.
Can I drop the Galaxy S21 off at Reparo?
Reparo has no on-site customer counter in Vienna. The two options for the Galaxy S21 back cover replacement: pickup service by our courier (within Vienna) or insured send-in service (from all of Austria). Both options have the same fixed price of EUR 139.
Is any data lost during the Galaxy S21 back cover replacement?
No. We work only on the housing - the mainboard, storage, SIM card and Samsung account are never disconnected. Photos, apps, Wi-Fi passwords and settings all stay fully intact. We still recommend a Samsung Cloud backup before any repair (free, 5 minutes via the Samsung account settings).
Original Samsung back cover or aftermarket on the Galaxy S21?
We fit high-quality OEM back covers that match the original Samsung parts in colour, material and fit. Original service-pack parts are only available through authorised Samsung service centres. For certain special colours of the Galaxy S21 we check in advance whether the part is available - standard colours are in stock.
How long is the warranty on the new Galaxy S21 back cover replacement?
Six months on parts and fitting. If the new part comes loose from the frame within that time or shows manufacturing cracks, we replace it free of charge. Not covered: new drop damage, water damage from improper use or mechanical impact on the new glass. The warranty applies Austria-wide.
Is the back cover replacement on the Galaxy S21 even worth it?
Yes. A used Galaxy S21 with an intact back cover costs significantly more on the market than the replacement for EUR 139. On top of that comes the hassle: moving your data, setting it up again, lost 2FA tokens. The replacement keeps the device looking like new - and the Galaxy S21 hardware keeps working for years. Buying new only pays off if several components are defective at the same time.
