Where to Replace Smartphone Backshell in Bangladesh – Safe Options & Cost
If you’re looking for a place to replace your phone’s backshell in Bangladesh. The safest route is a trusted, technician-led shop that can confirm your exact model variant, use the right adhesive and seals, and test everything in front of you. For water-resistant phones, an official brand service route is ideal. Choose a specialist with proper tools (laser/separation) to avoid internal damage.
In Dhaka, you can visit Nur Telecom (Shop No. 93, Basement 2, Bashundhara City Shopping Complex, Panthapath, Dhaka 1215) for same-day inspection, fitment check, and tested replacement.
What is a “backshell” in Bangladesh markets?
People often ask for different things, so we first match the right part; this alone prevents most repair problems.
Common names people use
- Back cover / back panel / back glass
- Backshell/housing/body/chassis
- “Middle frame + back”
Which replacement do you actually need
- Only the back glass cracked: common on many iPhone/Samsung glass backs
- Plastic back damaged: common on budget phones; usually simpler
- Full housing replacement: frame bent, corners dented, buttons fell off, SIM tray tight
Real issues people face in Bangladesh
The new back cover doesn’t fit perfectly / gaps appear
This is real and common, especially when the model variant differs slightly. Tiny gaps may look small, but they can trap dust and weaken the phone.
Why it happens: wrong variant (Global vs India/China), copy part, frame warp, and rushed adhesive work.
Fix that works:
- Check exact model code (Settings → About; tray/label if needed)
- Ask for a dry-fit before glue—good shops do it without you pushing
- Use proper adhesive (pre-cut tape when supported; controlled glue line)
- Get a clear fitment promise: reopen + reseal if a gap shows
Phone lost water resistance after replacement
Many people assume that “back cover change” keeps waterproofing in place by default. It doesn’t. The seal is the real hero, and once disturbed, it must be handled carefully.
Why it happens: old seal removed, cheap glue, no pressure clamp, dust on seal.
Fix that works:
- For water-resistant models, prefer seal-safe service handling
- If third-party, request seal replacement and a pressure test if available
- Keep the phone away from water for 24–48 hours after sealing
Camera fog/dust inside the camera after the back replacement
You notice haze in nighttime photos, or the lens looks dirty from the inside. This may be due to a dusty bench or a weak seal around the camera ring.
Why it happens: a dusty workspace, a gasket not seated, and adhesive fumes.
Fix that works:
- Ask for dust-free handling (clean bench + blower at minimum)
- Confirm the camera ring/gasket is intact
- Before you pay, test: 0.5x/1x/3x, flash, video—do it on the spot
Wireless charging / NFC stopped working
A back change can disturb the coil and flex. It’s not rare; it’s simply missed.
Why it happens: coil/NFC flex damaged, not seated, wrong housing, shielding missing.
Fix that works:
- Technician should inspect and transfer the coil/NFC assembly properly
- Test on a wireless charger in front of you; quick, simple, and clear
Back glass replacement damaged inside parts
Some shops still pry iPhone’s back glass by force. That can cut flex cables, heat the battery area, or bend the frame; the bill grows fast.
Why it happens: manual prying, wrong heat control, battery left connected.
Fix that works:
- Choose a shop that uses laser removal / proper separation tools
- Confirm the battery is disconnected before the risky stage—this is basic safety
Colour mismatch, logo mismatch, cheap feel
Customers complain that the colour looks “off” under light, or the camera ring finish is poor.
Fix that works:
- Ask for OEM/original/premium grade options and see samples
- Compare shade, print quality, camera ring finish; don’t rush this check

Price, time, and what affects cost
Typical time needed
- Back cover replacement: 30–90 minutes
- Full housing: 1–3 hours
- Back glass (laser process): 1–2 hours (queue dependent)
What changes the price
Model level, glass vs plastic, cover only vs full housing with frame, and part grade (OEM vs copy). Prices move often, so confirm after sharing your exact model.
How to confirm you’re getting the right part
Before repair
- Confirm exact model number/variant
- Ask: “Back cover only, or full housing with frame?”
- Agree on water resistance expectations—clear and honest
After repair (5-minute verification)
Check gaps and corners; test SIM tray fit; test wireless charging/NFC if supported; record camera, flash, and mic; quickly check signal/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth; inspect for glue marks and any lens smudges.
DIY vs technician — should you attempt it yourself?
DIY is okay for a cheap phone with a simple plastic back if you already have the tools and don’t care about water resistance.
For glass backs, iPhone back glass, wireless charging models, or any water-resistant phone. Get a technician, because a single wrong pry can turn a small crack into a major repair.
FAQs
How much does it cost to replace a phone backshell in Bangladesh?
Cost depends on model, back type (glass/plastic), and whether you need cover-only or full housing with frame. Part grade also matters. Share your exact model code first; a reliable shop will quote the total price upfront.
Is back glass replacement different from back cover replacement?
Yes. Back glass often needs controlled separation and careful heat/laser work, while many plastic back covers are simpler. The risk is higher with glass backs because internal flex cables, coils, and seals can be affected if the process is rough.
Will my phone lose waterproofing after the back cover replacement?
It can. Water resistance relies on seals and clean bonding. If you replace the back, ask for seal-safe work, proper clamping, and clear guidance. Then avoid water for 24–48 hours so the adhesive cures well.
How long does backshell replacement take?
Most back cover changes take 30–90 minutes. Full housing jobs often take 1–2 hours. iPhone back glass with a proper tool process can take 1–2 hours, depending on the queue and testing.
Do I lose data if I replace the back housing?
Normally, no, backshell work is hardware and does not erase data. Still, it’s smart to back up if possible because accidents, drops, or battery issues can happen during any physical repair.
Is it safe to replace the iPhone back glass in Bangladesh?
It’s safe when the shop uses proper laser/separation tools and follows safe procedures, such as disconnecting the battery. Avoid manual prying jobs that promise “super fast” without showing the process, because the risk of internal damage is higher.
