Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team

Replacing the rear housing is one of the most intricate repairs we perform. It requires a complete "gutting" of the phone—every component, from the logic board to the tiny vibration motor, must be carefully moved to the new shell. Our senior engineers perform this with surgical precision, ensuring every screw returns to its original home and the water-resistance seals are reapplied for a secure, factory-spec build.
Technical Details
Our housing replacements meet strict quality standards:
- Frame Material: Grade-matched stainless steel (X/XS) or aluminium (XR).
- Back Glass: Ion-strengthened glass for maximum scratch resistance.
- Precision: Laser-cut alignment for all buttons, charging ports, and camera lenses.
- Compatibility: Fully supports Qi wireless charging and NFC (Apple Pay).
Process & Protection
- Internal Assessment: Checking for any hidden damage before starting the transplant.
- Full Disassembly: Removing all internal modules with ESD-safe tools.
- Transplant: Expert installation of your original components into the new premium housing.
- Seal Re-application: Fitting new adhesive gaskets to maintain structural integrity.
- Final Testing: Rigorous 20-point check including signal strength and button feedback.
Common Symptoms Fixed
- Shattered Back Glass: Cracks spreading across the rear of the device.
- Bent Frame: Misalignment that prevents the screen from sitting flush.
- Dented Corners: Impact damage that makes the phone uncomfortable to hold.
- Worn Finish: Severe scuffing or paint peeling on the metal frame.
