Easily replaced broken back panel on iPhone 4S with liberation kit

Mein Problem

The back glass panel of an iPhone 4S was broken from being dropped several times. I used a replacement back panel and an iPhone 4 Liberation Kit to replace the back panel--and then added a protective case.

It was really easy to do, and went just as described in iFixit's instructions.

Mein Rat

It was more difficult to snap the replacement back panel into place than I expected. I had to apply a good bit of pressure to get the new panel to slide down and lock into place. Even then it wasn't perfectly seated-maybe half a millimeter off. When I put the two (new, Phillips head) screws in, though, they pulled the back panel down into place and everything ended up aligned properly.
