    • If you want you can protect the glass with a tempered screen-protector. Keep in mind that this may influence your case choice.

Abschluss

The phone is normally waterproof, and should still be, after this repair. However, I have not tested it, so I can not give a conclusive answer on how water-proof the device stays after repair.

My european Sony Xperia Z3 had much more glue attached to the battery, making it much harder to remove all of the glas.

Worked anyhow :-) Looks awesome again!

Thanks for the guide!

My new back just won't stay stuck down. Can ib use super glue on it? I think half the battle is the phone heating up and loosening the glue.

Ben Clayton - Antwort

I'd be careful using superglue. Some sticky kit might be better. Maybe heating up the new one and holding it down with clamps or a book should make it stick better too.
