iPhone 5, 5S, 5C & SE (1st Gen) Back Repair | UK Postal Service
If your iPhone 5 series device has a cracked back glass, a bent housing, or deep scuffs that ruin the aesthetic, there is no need to panic. Unlike newer models with simple back glass panels, the iPhone 5 series uses complex housings and glass inserts that provide structural integrity. At atlantis, we specialise in professional chassis restorations for legacy Apple devices for customers right across the country. Whether you utilise our convenient UK-wide postal repair service or visit our Canterbury workshop in Kent, we provide premium housing replacements for a fixed £60.00 fee.
